• The mission of the music, worship, and creative arts ministry at Solid Rock, shall be to glorify God, and provide opportunities for God to speak to us, and to edify each other, with the purpose of the music, worship, and creative arts ministry is to help provide an atmosphere, which is agreeable and comfortable to worship at SRCC. The members of this ministry apply their godly discernment in choosing, playing, and singing the meaningful songs to enhance the pastors sermon, dramatizations to enrich the worship experience, and using liturgical dance at the appropriate times. They see to it that all the choices of music , songs (lyrics), dance movements, and drama pieces meet the right priority of worship: first, to glorify God; second, for God to speak to us; and third, for us to edify each other. We must make sure that our worship services meet these three prerequisites:

    Glorifying God – Worship is accomplished vertically upward, when we are talking to God
    God speaks to us– Worship is accomplished vertically downward, when God is talking to us
    Edifying each other – Worship is accomplished horizontal left-to-right, when we are edifying and encouraging each other.

Our Team

 

Joel & Kimberly

Fugate

Pastor Joel and Kimberly are both from Punxsutawney and were high school sweethearts. They dated for six years before tying the knot and have been married for over 38 years. They have four married sons, three of whom serve in the ministry. Joel is a retired school psychologist and Kimberly is a retired maternity nurse.

They both strongly believe that church should be about building relationships, helping others grow strong in their faith, and it should be fun. Although life is full of struggles and everyone gets down at times, the Christian life should help people exude joy and laughter. Our church family should help all of us to live life together, laugh together, cry together, and grow in our faith together.

    Faith formation is a life-long process in which people claim their identity as beloved children of God and their call to participate in God’s purposes for the world. This process involves information (what we know), formation (who we are and who we are becoming), and transformation (how the world is changed because of who we are and how we live). A life of faith, then, includes cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions.
