Craig Cloward Christensen (born March 18, 1956) has been a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) since 2002 and a member of the church's Presidency of the Seventy since August 2012.
Christensen was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Sheron Glen Christensen and Colleen Cloward. The family moved to Concord, California, when Christensen was 11 years old. He was an All-American football player in high school and went on to play center for Brigham Young University (BYU) — playing both before and after his two-year service in the Chile Santiago South Mission of the LDS Church, where William R. Bradford, of the First Quorum of the Seventy, was his mission president.
Christensen was engaged to Debora Bliss Jones three weeks after returning from his mission in 1977, and the couple was married in the Salt Lake Temple three months later. They are the parents of four children.
After graduating with a degree in accounting from BYU in 1979, Christensen worked for an accounting firm in California for two years and then attended the University of Washington where he received an MBA. Christensen subsequently moved his family back to Utah, where he bought his first company in 1990. He worked as a real estate developer and franchised automobile dealer. He also taught business and religion classes at BYU.
