Margaret Bangert – “During
the 5 plus years of Joel’s leadership, our staff at Community Fellowship has
felt and functioned more like a team than ever before.”
·
Tania Birch – Volunteer/Parent. “As a mom, I love how Joel Has sought opportunities for and encouraged
my daughter’s spiritual journey. I get joy from watching my now teenage
daughter serve with her church family in children’s ministry and missions.” “As a Ministry Volunteer, I have learned much
from Joel, shifting my outlook from teaching a prescribed curriculum to
empowering children to grow in their faith within the curriculum framework. I
think less about the lesson plan and more about how the lesson is relevant and
impacting each child differently. Joel invests in and builds relationships with
families that help them all grow in their faith.”
·
A G – Missionary in Central Asia referring to a recent
Missions trip. “I saw Joel planning and
leading, but I also saw him step back and let the others contribute their type
of leadership and gifting. It is not easy to lead a team you barely know
when you hit the ground running.”
·
Laura Elliott – Children’s Ministry leader and Editorial
Director of Pioneer Clubs “I have
known Joel Sisson for several years and have watched him lead Children’s
ministry at Community Fellowship in creative and life-giving ways. He would be
an amazing asset to any church! He is an intentional leader who builds kids and
families in deep and meaningful ways. He leads as by example and modeling what
a father needs to be in his own family. I highly recommend him as an inspiring
leader to follow!”
·
Scott Howington – Sr. Pastor of Pleasant Hill Community Church. “I have known Joel Sisson for over 20 years
and ministered side by side with him for 14 years. Joel is a practical teacher
of the Word. He has a good ability to assess ministry situations and then to
lead change where needed. He is gifted in relational leadership and discipleship.”
·
Kevin McKelvey – Former Student, volunteer and Dr., Capt., USAF. “Joel Sisson was my middle school and high
school youth pastor and was an integral part of my spiritual growth and
development, not only through his weekly Bible teaching but also in how he
modeled living a life of discipleship and as a godly husband and father. His
creativity and desire to reach youth were evident as he poured his life out and
lived it alongside us, constantly hosting events, planning outreach activities
and retreats for the youth. Joel has remained an important influence in my life
for over 20 years and I still look to him for mentorship and advice. I know he
has been a blessing to many others as well though his dedicated time of service
in Ministry.”
·

definitely has the ability to speak and teach from his own life regarding the

Joel has the vision to see couples and families to come together and reap
the benefits of following Jesus together.”
