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

President
