Dr. Craig Kellogg serves as President of Surrendered Heart Ministries, where his role is to help facilitate the vision God placed on his heart: connecting resources with ministries that are advancing God’s Kingdom.

Surrendered Heart Ministries exists to serve as a philanthropic vessel, helping support churches, ministries, and Kingdom initiatives that are impacting communities. Many believers have a genuine desire to give but are unsure where their gifts can make the greatest impact. SHM helps bridge that gap by prayerfully identifying opportunities and directing resources where they can best strengthen and serve the work God is already doing through churches, smaller ministries, and community-focused initiatives.

At the same time, Craig carries a deep passion for the heart of the giver. When individuals desire it, SHM also provides teaching and encouragement around tithing, giving, generosity, and sacrificial stewardship, helping believers experience the worship, intimacy, peace, and joy that come through a surrendered life of generosity. The goal is never giving for a return, but participating in the harvest of what God is doing.

Craig’s understanding of giving began early as his parents instilled the principle of tithing in his life. That lesson became deeply personal during the final conversation with his father before he passed away, when his father asked Craig to write his final tithe check. That moment left a profound imprint on Craig’s heart and ignited a lasting passion for helping others understand that everything belongs to God and we simply steward what He entrusts to us.

Craig holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing with a minor in Management and a concentration in Biblical Studies from Evangel University, a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Evangel University, and a Doctorate of Strategic Leadership from Southeastern University. He is also the author of the book Get Off the Fence, which encourages believers to align their hearts and minds with Christ and fully embrace the life God has called them to live.

In the marketplace, Craig is the broker and owner of Agora Realty Group, a full-service real estate brokerage serving the Dayton, Ohio region with an additional presence in Springfield, Missouri. Agora operates as a one-stop real estate platform, providing residential and commercial brokerage, property management, investment consulting, and investor partnerships. Craig has spent decades working with individuals and investors to build and manage real estate portfolios while developing strong teams and systems that support both clients and agents.

Craig is VERY happily married to Sandy, whom he often describes as God’s greatest gift to him. Together they have four daughters and three grandchildren. They enjoy small groups, cooking and serving others, entertaining friends, and spending time with family. Craig also enjoys cars, pickleball, the occasional round of golf, and what he calls “prayer drives.”

Surrendered Heart Ministries exists to resource Kingdom work while helping believers discover the joy of living as surrendered, generous stewards of what God has entrusted to them.
