Rev. Schneider has been in God's ministerial service for three decades. Through the last thirty years of Christian service God's call upon his life has taken him from Sunday School instruction to Choir Director; from church administration to community development; from multi-media production to revival services; from ministerial mentor to Bible College instructor, and from the pulpit to the pastorate. He is a minister that believes in preaching & teaching God's Word in clear and concise means, while enthusiastically sharing the foundational message of God's love and inclusiveness to all people who have answered The Creator's gracious call to accept Jesus as their personal Lord & Savior.
Through Rev. Schneider's teaching he has quietly counseled as well as shouted from the roof tops that,
"Both the institutional church and each individual Christian have a divinely inspired mission to be vibrant and enthusiastic witnesses to our faith in God. When this mission is accented with authentic passion it becomes an immensely empowering source of love and commitment to those who have awakened to the life, death 
and resurrected reality of Jesus Christ. Within the overall life of the institutional church nothing else matters if that fails. We are not a fraternal organization. We are not an historical relic. We are not a socialized political forum. We are not to be artificially separated by the black, white, yellow, or brown people police. We are a church of eager disciples. We are a church that is founded upon the loving sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We are a church that lives to share the Good News of a God who calls to everyone. We are followers of the Way of Christ. Because of this profound privilege the church's future can not...will not...be hidden under some symbolic cloud of confusion or doubt provided by the contemporary society we now reside within. No! The future of the Christian Church and the individual Christian alike are filled with divine possibilities. Don't just look forward hoping you'll get there someday. Go there! Envision the improbable. Dream the impossible. Tell your mother, sister, or brother...tell your neighbor and your friend...tell the community that you live within...tell the world around us that we Christians do not live by the limitations of current circumstance. God calls the followers of Christ to move into action. God calls us to be beacons of hope, warriors of witness, and empowering agents of change. Do this and watch how many others are drawn to our passion and purpose."

DIVERSITY IN THE CHURCH: When we begin to judge other's differences as less valuable than our own preferences, we start to deny the creative brilliance of God. When we foolishly deny God's creative diversity, we fall head-long into the deep chasm of "us" versus "them." After this, the Call-to-Christ is so cheapened that it becomes merely a shell of its original Divine intention. When that happens, nobody wins but a very clever serpent.
EFFECTIVE KINGDOM BUILDING: Churches can no longer afford just to maintain. Not only does God deserve positive results in glorifying His kingdom, but people also expect results. If those “expected results” are not experienced, either in the overall movement of the local church or within the individual the congregational membership will systematically “dust off their feet” and move down the road to a ministry that they are more confident in. The longer a church exists the more it falls into the age old trap of doing the “same-ol’-thing” in the “same-ol’-way.” Every church, big...small...or somewhere in the middle...must keep an extra special vigil to allow each congregation to authentically demonstrate a vibrantly affirming and foundationally inclusive atmosphere of joyous and expected transformation.
Each church will be kept vibrant and alive by people who are tramsforming daily by the power and presence of God’s grace. It is kept a viable representation of God’s glory by those who can’t hold the joy of the Christian experience to themselves. These Christian brothers and sisters have an authentic sense of urgency to share the power, presence, mercy, and joy of God’s love with others who have yet to be competently and passionately exposed to this life changing experience.
CHRISTIANITY AND ITS REALITY ON EACH BELIEVER: Christianity is NOT some sort of religious education lesson, which in turns makes us better people. NO!!!! Christianity will always take the form of something powerful, something challenging, something intense and yet freeing. Christianity, when it is intensely and passionately personalized, and not used as some generic description of religious “tradition” or “training,” has always been something that completely possesses fundamental and foundational meaning to those involved in its relationship. There is no such thing as an un-changed christian. it is simply, and without question, impossible.
TRANSFORMATION FOR EACH CHRISTIAN: your walk with Christ is, by its very nature, one of perpetual transformation and challenge. It is a truism to say; “If you haven’t changed much, there’s not much Christ in you. If you haven’t struggled with the “old you”, then there hasn’t been much of a re-birth of the new you.” The worst thing anyone could ever say about a freely professed Christian follower is, “There goes so-and-so, she’s the same as she was 20 years ago.” Lord, God Almighty, I hope and pray no one has ever said that about you, or any Christian you know. The whole point of being “born again” is to start anew; to begin again.
Change is inevitable. Our lives are one change after another. Only a fool fights to stay the same because it is never able to happen. Transforming lives is what the
