Associate Pastor, Jeff Schneider, joined the Hastings Berean team in September 2008. Married with three children, Aiden, Toby, and McKenna, Jeff and his wife Suzanne have enjoyed the adventure God has given them. After spending several years in the Lake Tahoe area,they moved back home to Nebraska so Jeff could attend Grace University in Omaha. Graduating May 2008, Jeff double-majored in Bible and in Church Education. Jeff values his education but would say that his years of self-employment in construction, time as a High School educator, as well as working for his parents in a family business granted him the opportunity to work out what in means to be a Christian “come Monday morning”. Jeff’s philosophy of ministry is to “teach Christians how to be Christians; and turn them loose” (Eph.4:11-12).
