Reverend Judson Fields

JUDSON FIELDS, JR., was born to Judson Fields, Sr., and Nettie
Slaughter Fields on November 9, 1948, in Vernon, Oklahoma. He was
the seventh of ten children born from their union. Judson, Jr., attended
and graduated from Luther High School in 1966, where he was active
in sports, including basketball and baseball. After graduation, Judson
went on to serve in the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in Korea. He
also attended Okmulgee Tech, where he met the love of his life, Joyce
Grayson. They were married on July 1, 1972, and from this union they
were blessed with three girls, Lynette, Stacey, and Alkila.
At an early age, Judson's grandmother affectionately named him
"Bishop" because he always had his hands in his pockets, and kept his
clothes neat and clean, and his shoes shined. In the Fields family, he
was known as "Bishop" and "Uncle Bishop." He accepted Christ at an
early age and years later, his grandmother's nickname became a reality.
While under the leadership of Pastor C.J. Jeffery, Jr., he accepted his call
to the ministry and served as an associate minister of the Macedonia
Baptist Church in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He was ordained in 1989 and
called to pastor the Union Baptist Church in Grayson, Oklahoma. After
pastoring Union Baptist for thirteen years, he was called to pastor his
home church, Macedonia Baptist Church in 2002 as the Senior Pastor,
where he served until his passing.
Although pastoring was a full-time job, he provided for his family
working as a plant operator at Phillips 66, until he retired. Pastor
Fields earned an Associate of Arts Degree in Christian Education
from Oklahoma Baptist University and went on to earn his Bachelor
and Master Degrees from Andersonville Theological Seminary and
Doctorate of Theology Degree from Slidell Baptist Seminary. He also
served as an instructor for the Oklahoma School of Religion and the
2nd Vice-Moderator of the Collate District Baptist Association. He
was a true man of faith that did not compromise the gospel for anyone.
He was a mentor, encourager, and spiritual father to many. He was a
faithful servant of God and was obedient to God's Word and Ministry.
Early Sunday Morning, on May 4, God smiled on him and he answered
the Master's call. He was preceded in death by his parents, Judson
Fields, Sr., and Nettie Slaughter Fields; wife, Joyce Fields; daughter,
Lynn Ivey; four brothers, Sylvester, Leslie, Paul, Sr., and Ernest, Sr.;
and two sisters, Oneta James and Ora Lee (Monroe) Hester.

Harris and Alkila Gray; grandchildren, Jordan Ivey, Christian (Alexi)
Ivey, Isaiah Harris, Vincent Harris, Laila Harris, and Aubrey "Theo"
