Our Ministers At The Rock
Kim and I have been married since 1988. We began partnering together in full time ministry in 1993. Much of our ministry time has been spent as youth pastors, doing evangelistic and short term missionary work. In the summer of 1998 our son Nicholas was born. The unique thing about that summer was God was also birthing a dream in our hearts to plant (pioneer) a church. A church... a Spirit filled (Pentecostal) church that merges God's power and a practical purpose into one church! Kim and I are filled with awe as we have witnessed God reach those unchurched, raise up towards spiritual maturity and release many into practical ministry. Kim, Nicholas and I would love for you to come and be our guest at The Rock.

Because of His Grace,
Pastor Angelo & Kim
Pastor Angelo Fleece   Lead Pastor
Our church is blessed with a wonderful pastoral staff. They have a strong passion and commitment for God as well as serving our congregation and community. If you've never visited The Rock before and live nearby... come check us out! We would love for you to come get involved at The Rock and in our community.


Hello, on behalf of my wife Rose and our two children Angela and Dominic I would like to extend a greeting to you from our family. We have been best friends with Pastor Angelo and Kim for over twenty years, and part of The Rock since the very beginning. As part of The Rock staff, my involvement is with ministries such as The Rock Cafe, Rock Solid (mens), Cornerstone (ladies), Hospitality, Ushers, Promotions and Communications and it has been an honor and a blessing. My wife Rose serves in an active role in the Cafe and our daughter Angela leads the Edge (youth) worship team. Our son Dominic attends the Edge and is active in the youth Drama team. My goal has been and always will be to help others get involved in ministry. At The Rock we have several ways of doing this. The best way is to sign up for our Stoneworks seminar (Exploring Church Ministry) or just look me up on Sundays or Wednesdays. I will do my best to help out in any way I can.

Thank you, God Bless

My wife Jennifer, and I have been married since 1997 and are the proud parents of two daughters. Quinn (born in March 2003) and Marin (born in August 2006) have made parenting a really fun adventure for us! After time spent working in secular fields (me in sales and Jennifer in teaching), we answered God's call to enter full time ministry in 2005. Being on staff at The Rock for the last year has been a tremendous blessing to our family. We have been able to see young people grow spiritually through summer camp, special events, and regular Kidz Rock services. We truly believe that getting kids excited about God at an early age will set them on the path to a solid, lifelong walk with Christ. We would love the opportunity to serve your children and family!

Blessings,
Pastor Chad & Jennifer

My wife Alli, and I are a newlywed couple. We were married in August 2007 and are very excited to serve as a team in the Edge (youth) ministry. Alli is originally from Michigan, while I'm from Chicago (Go Bears!). I graduated from Evangel University with a degree in Biblical Studies and Psychology. Alli graduated from Evangel and went on to complete her Master's of Social Work at Michigan State University. We are so thrilled to be on staff at The Rock. The Rock is a church that loves people, which fits us great, as it is our heart to see youth loved and cared for. We feel God has called us to the Edge to see youth have fun, learn about God, build Christian friendships, and be challenged in their personal walk with our Savior. It is exhilarating to think about all that God has in store for this next generation. We would love the opportunity to serve and connect with your youth.

...And You!
You may not be called to be a pastor, nevertheless you are called to be in ministry.
Ministry is meeting practical, physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
It is the action we take as Christians to reflect God's character and bring glory to His name.
At The Rock there is a ministry just for you.
Ministry is what you are gifted by God to do!
