Who is Dennis R. Petersen?

He’s the author of the Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation seminar, book, and video curriculum.  Dennis founded and has served as the President of the Creation Resource Foundation since 1983.  He is also the host of the Sacramento Radio Show, Reclaiming Your Legacy, on KFIA am710.  He has conducted creation seminars in churches throughout America and in other countries for the past three decades.

The Creation Resource Foundation, begun in 1983 by former museum curator and pastor, Dennis Petersen, is the providential result of a vision Dennis shares to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ to our information-flooded, media-confused generation.

 

Mission

CRF is devoted to the production of Biblically based training materials and equipping programs that help families everywhere to prepare their children to have confidence in God in the face of a secularized society.

Purpose

The purpose of CRF is to use whatever resources and creativity God provides to help Christ followers to realize a greater dimension of the purpose and blessing God intends for their lives.  The primary goal is to help everyone recognize and honor their Creator as their personal Savior, Master and Provider.  To do that CRF is dedicated to the production and distribution of effective educational tools that communicate the awesomeness, power, and nature of God while declaring the absolute trustworthiness of His revelation to man, the Bible.

Mr. Petersen personally produces and oversees the production of ministry activities and distribution.  His diverse background in the formal study of science, history, museums, administration and the Bible is enhanced by his enthusiastic presentation of facts in ways that engage listeners to really think about it.  The result is a deepened appreciation for students’ ability to process information and be transformed personally.
