ORDINATION OF RICK LOVELADY AS A PASTOR
Friday, July 19 | 6:00 pm
Del Sol's East Campus
11501 Vista del Sol
Ordination as a pastor is an important, biblical ceremony that goes all the way back to the first Christians in the book of Acts. The Bible lays out some specific considerations before laying hands on someone to endorse them as a pastor. They are found in 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:6-9, and of course a pastor should show the fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. We are thrilled to say that Rick has been examined by our Church Council and found to meet all those standards!
Consequently, the Church Council has prayerfully decided to publicly affirm his call as a pastor at this important churchwide event. We hope you'll be there for this important churchwide event, Del Sol'ers!
My name is Rick Lovelady, and I am the Lead Worship Minister for Del Sol Church. It is my privilege to lead people into God’s presence every Sunday at our East Campus and to lead a team of Worship Leaders who do the same at our other campuses. I am blessed to have been married to my high school sweetheart, Kristin, for 13 years and to be a father of 2 sweet boys, Hunter and Declan. They are 6 and 2 years old, and they are a gift to us from the Lord!
​
I have served at Del Sol as a worship leader for 13 years. I started in 2011 as an interim worship leader at our Northeast Campus, where God made it clear that I was called to serve Him in ministry as a career. At the end of 2014, I began serving as the worship leader at our newly opened East Montana Campus. I served there until I was called to serve as the Lead Worship Minister at our East Campus in 2022.
I am thankful to the church and the Church Council for supporting me in these ministries and believing in me for the future. My prayer is that God will continue to bless His church and that I get to play a small role in that through my ordination and future ministry.
