Clint and Rebecca Schreiber

Satisfaction in goals, ambitions, and desires--this is what Clint Schreiber was searching for in life as he worked on a degree in engineering at college. He did not look forward to spending the rest of his life behind an engineer's desk, however; and so after 3½ years at school, he decided to enlist in the Marines when the Desert Storm War broke out. Four years in the service showed him that a military career was not for him either, and his search continued.

At this time, Clint felt the most logical thing for him to do was to go back to college and finish his degree. Through his acquaintance with John Hall, Jr., a member of Fairhaven Baptist Church, he applied for a position that was available in the engineering office where John worked. Clint was hired the next day. Clint began to notice that John didn't do some of the things the others in the office did. As a result of John's witness, Clint got saved. His life changed completely, his focus was off the things of this world, and he found complete satisfaction in his salvation and new direction for life.

After finishing his engineering degree, Clint came to Fairhaven Baptist College and graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's degree. While here, he met Rebecca Bottrell, the fifth child that Pastor Rodger Bottrell sent to college at Fairhaven. Rebecca graduated in 1998 and married Clint on December 23, 1998.

After Clint's graduation from the Master of Art's program, they moved to Jackson, Tennessee, and began working with Dr. Rick Savage at Bethel Baptist Church. Clint works with the missions program, the Spanish ministry, the bus ministry, and administrates the Christian school. Rebecca is a teacher, runs the nurseries, and helps with special events.

As he recalled his education at Fairhaven, Clint said that some of the most important principles he learned here related to understanding the functioning of the local church and working under the authority of the pastor. Clint and Rebecca have two children, Andrew (2) and Michael (1).
