Rev. Dr. Phil Craig, Pastor of the Greater Springfield Community Church, is a bit incredulous at his present title as a minister. Reminiscing he remembers his mother admonishing him with a prophecy earlier in his life that one day he would be a pastor. However, Pastor Craig, didn't take her predictions of him leading a flock seriously at the time.
Being a pastor or minister of the gospel was the last thing on a young Phil Craig's mind. Phil would first endeavor to become a successful club owner.
He enjoyed his earlier success as a nightlife entrepreneur. He found a sense of satisfaction at being a club owner, making good money, and providing gainful employment for his staff. His love or providing opportunity for his club staff was no doubt an indication of things to come.
