"Leading the way in Christian Education for over 10 Years"
Our Story
The late Dr. Nathaniel L. Screven, Sr., A.A., B.A., Th.B., M.A., M.R.E., Th.M., Th.D was the Founder and President of the Evangelical Bible Institute, a Bible College that he organized in the 1970s. Since its inception in the 1970’s thousands of adult students have attended.
His wife of 50 years, Mother Jean Screven, was working by his side in the ministry. The late Dr. Screven trusting his wife and respecting her love for the ministry made Mother Jean Screven Vice President and Registrar of Evangelical Bible Institute.
Thus upon his death, God gave Mother Jean Screven a vision, and through the grace of God and great effort Mother Jean Screven wanted to continue Dr. Screven's life-long work and legacy, thus in his honor, Screven Memorial Bible Institute, Inc. was birthed.
