Family Policy Alliance Welcomes New CEO!
Craig DeRoche with his family
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him.
Psalm 37:23
Dear Friends,
Today I have the privilege of sharing exciting news with you -- Family
Policy Alliance has a new President & CEO! Before I introduce you
to our new leader, Craig DeRoche, I want to share with you how clearly
God's hand guided the process of finding His choice for this
role.
After former President and CEO Paul Weber decided that his time with
Family Policy Alliance® was coming to an end, a search committee
was formed with representatives from the Board, from the FPA team, and
from our friends in the state family policy councils. The Board and
team began praying earnestly for God to lead the right man or woman to
Family Policy Alliance.The search committee began an intensive
process, in collaboration with a search firm that specializes in
working with ministries, to pray over and vet dozens of exemplary
candidates. In the end, the search committee unanimously recommended
Craig DeRoche to our Board.
Now today, I am so pleased to announce the Board's unanimous
decision to name Craig DeRoche as the next CEO for Family Policy
Alliance. Recognizing the vital importance of events occurring in
God's kingdom, we sought and believe we received His guidance
for the right person to lead FPA.
Craig has deep experience in public policy and over a decade of
experience bringing coalitions together to advocate for our justice
system to reflect godly principles. Most importantly, he is a man
whose life and family have been transformed by Jesus Christ.
We are deeply grateful for Paul Weber's leadership and years of
sacrificial service with this ministry, and we know he will continue
to support us through this transition and to lift us all up in prayer.
Paul Weber shared his full confidence in Craig and the team:
I am so grateful for my time leading the amazing FPA team and engaging
our faithful ministry partners-it's been the honor of a
lifetime. Meeting Craig and knowing of his past experience, along with
the servant-hearted team built over these past 8 years, I have full
confidence that FPA will only build and grow on the foundation we have
established-by God's grace.
Craig comes to Family Policy Alliance after serving as president of
Justice Fellowship, a ministry founded by Chuck Colson. For almost a
decade, he focused on advancing the value of life through second
chances, and redemption for those in America's justice system.
Craig speaks to this personally in his book, Highly Functional, in
which he shares his fall into and triumph over addiction through
surrender to Jesus Christ. Craig served on the Charles Colson Task
Force on federal prison reform that was created by Congress, and he
worked personally on this issue with the three most recent U.S.
Presidents.
Craig has nearly 30 years of experience advancing the dignity and
worth of all human life, religious freedom, and family values in
public policy-including having served as Speaker of the House in
the Michigan legislature. Craig lives in Michigan with his wife, three
daughters, and dog named Remington.
Welcome, Craig, to the Family Policy Alliance team!
"After advocating for biblical principles in our nation's justice
system for many years, my heart is to advocate for strong
families-because strong families are the best way to prevent
lives from ending up in the justice system in the first place.
God's design for the family is the most loving, most pro-life,
safest, and best catalyst for success for children in the world. God
led me to Family Policy Alliance where we are ready, by His grace, to
make an even greater impact for families, life and religious freedom
in our nation." -Craig DeRoche
