Joel Bushfield

As a child, Joel attended church with his family. During his teen years he fell away from the faith but eventually found his way back. Joel trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior in June 1986. Joel says, “Affirmation of that choice came with rich blessings of our marriage, a home for the family, and rewarding work.”

Joel gave his testimony and was baptized by immersion on December 4th, 1988, at Cloverdale Evangelical Free Church, with his wife Sherrill and their three children.

Joel and Sherrill have been attending OCC for three years and have experienced it as a “welcoming church with great community spirit, worship and message.” They look forward to deepening their relationship with the church and community here.

 

Sherrill Bushfield

Sherrill first accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior at the age of 18 at a Billy Graham crusade, but she fell away in her early twenties. Sherrill shares, “In 1983 I found myself separated from my second husband with three children, all of us were hurting and confused. I cried out to Jesus for help and recommitted my life. My prayers were answered, and my life was changed forever. There was purpose, depth and direction. In 986 I married the love of my life and we have built a lasting, fulfilling relationship anchored in Christ.”

Sherril and her husband Joel have been attending OCC for three years and look forward to serving and growing together with us in the days ahead.
