Honoring My Father: Rev. Clifford A. Bell - by President Dr. Jeffrey Bell

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Faith.

This week I wish to honor my Dad, Rev. Clifford A. Bell (September 2, 1929 -  July 28, 2013). He was widely known as Mike. Dad became a Christian at age 26. He married my Mother, Arlene, and three children were born into their home - Vicki, Derek and I. Dad was very faithful to support the churches that he and Mom attended.   

He was a graduate of Husson College. He held one of the few honorary diplomas from Faith School of Theology. Over the years he was a bookkeeper for several businesses. Dad felt a call to pastoral ministry and pastored churches in Allagash, Stetson, Bangor, and Sherman Mills, Maine. He also worked at Faith in his later years.

If I could describe my Dad in one word, it would be "faithful". He was faithful to God, his family, and the church. He passed away peacefully with his family around him. He will be missed by many friends, and especially by his family - Vicki and Scott Wilson and their family, Derek and Leslie Bell and their family, and my wife, Faith and I.

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell

Office to Office from President Dr. Jeffrey Bell

Dear Friends,

Greetings from Faith.

Sometimes, people have referred to Faith as Faith School of "Moveology"! This summer has proven that to be true. A few staff have moved into different housing. Also, several offices have been moved. We now have more offices on the basement floor of the Institute. These offices will be occupied by:

Director of Outside Ministry, Professor, and Dean of Men - Rev. Billy Sudduth

Director of Student Life and Professor - Dr. Michael L. Richard                            

Director of Services and Maintenance and Professor - Rev. Glenn D. Gromel

Dean of Women, Kitchen Manager, and Professor - Rev. Bethany Gromel

Dr. Gail Januskiewicz - Director of Academics and Professor has moved into the former Staff Lounge on the first floor. The Staff Lounge has moved into her former office.  

We believe the relocation of these offices will better serve our students and the public.

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
