Clint Kneeland, Ph.D.

“Each child is unique in God’s plan and He has a special direction He wants them to take in following His will.”

I am passionate about training young people with the truth of God’s Word and a Christian biblical worldview through individualized curriculum to bring about transformed lives. It is my privilege to have assisted over 200 churches throughout California, Nevada, and Hawaii to develop Christian K-12 schools. My expanded mission supports ministries in the development of life changing educational “Learning Centers” in the United States and globally.

My experience includes serving as an administrator, principal, teacher training instructor, seminar speaker curriculum writer, curriculum editor, and testing specialist. Additional training in learning disabilities instilled in me the importance of identifying learning styles and assigning individualized curriculum for each student.

As an ordained minister, my education includes Doctor of Education (Ed.D.), Educational Leadership and Administration from Louisiana Baptist University and Theological Seminary, Master of Education (M.Ed), Educational Administration and Supervision from Texas Baptist Bible College, and Bachelor of Arts (BA) Bachelor of Religious Education from Western Baptist Bible College.

68 years of personally knowing Christ

Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. He is my Lord and Savior, and His Word shows that He is the resurrection and the life. John 11:25 says, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” And John 1:14 says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“The gospel message of Jesus is summarized in His birth, death, burial, and resurrection to provide salvation for all mankind. 1 Corinthians 15:1-5 says, “Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”

I was raised in a Christian home, and the gospel message was introduced to me at a young age. At the age of eight, I attended Jr. Camp at Hume Lake Christian Camps and heard the gospel explained by a chalk artist, Jerry Zwall. As Evangelist Jerry drew and explained the two attached pictures, “The Way of Escape” and “I am the Way,” I clearly understood that Jesus was my only way to salvation and that I needed to be saved from my sin. After camp, I prayed the sinner’s prayer and trusted in Christ as my Savior.

I have had many ups and downs in obeying Christ, but after high school in 1964, I dedicated my life to serving Him and began attending Western Baptist Bible College and after graduation began to serve Christ through the Christian Education ministry. The Lord has given me the privilege of serving in many churches for 55 years of ministry, and I have had many challenges. By God’s grace, I have remained faithful to my family, ministry, and to the Lord. God has given me a lifetime commitment to Christian education and training children daily in His Word.
