Marriage Mentors
Marriage is hard. One great aspect of marriage is that you don't have to go alone. Not only is your spouse with you but you can invite other trusted voices to speak into your relationship. At Sherwood Oaks, we believe that healthy and happy marriages invite those additional voices in. We have identified some trusted voices and would love to help you connect with one of them. If you are planning on getting married or need to fine tune your skills to enhance your marriage, please contact Nancy Barrow.
Lisa and Jamie Crowhurst met when they were quite young but didn't start dating until they were in college. Lisa was in California and Jamie was in Colorado so their long distance relationship was built around letters and very expensive phone bills (back in the day). They were married in 1988 and spent the next 29 years living where the Air Force sent them. In 2017 they landed in Bloomington when Jamie retired and their daughter came to Indiana University.
Lisa and Jamie love Jesus, hiking, kayaking and just hanging out together, and they especially love it when their daughter joins their adventures, either at home or some new interesting place.
Joseph & Savannah Curry have been married since 2018 and have one daughter (Eliana) who was born in 2025.

Brian and Karla Farnsley met in 1993 in the singles ministry at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church. They married in 1994 and were asked to move from the singles leadership into the newly married leadership and taught
the newlyweds Sunday school class for several years. They have raised a son, who is now married and has three daughters ages 6, 11 and 15, and a daughter, who is now married, and has our only grandson age 11, and our twin granddaughters age 9. They have served in numerous ministries at Sherwood Oaks throughout their marriage.
We are Travis and Sally Feuerbach, and we have been married since 2005, only because of our faith in God. We try to help couples go through the Prepare and Enrich Program by providing them with the resources given, but also with our experience of real-life marital ups and downs, and loving each other through it all. We feel that if we had been given the opportunity to have a program like Prepare and Enrich when we were preparing for marriage, it would’ve helped us to work through or avoid some of our past marital issues.
Scott and Suzanne Fuson have been married since 1983 and have been Prepare & Enrich facilitators for close to 10 years. Both of our adult children live in Carmel, IN, with their spouses. We are especially enjoying being grandparents to Mason (4) and Carter (4 months).
Jeff and Kristi Huston were married in 1993 and are still learning about this marriage thing. Kristi is from Corydon and Jeff is from Marion and they met at Camp Olivet in their college years. Within a year, they were married and within 8 years had 5 children. Kristi homeschooled them all while volunteering in many capacities for many different ministries and recently retired from an administrative position at a local school. Jeff has been a Financial Advisor since 1996 and helps people make money with their money. They are currently facilitating an international couples marriage group and enjoy the conversations that help them keep building a better, stronger marriage.
