Ministry Leaders & Support Staff
Joel Stuckey – Worship Ministry Leader
Joel Stuckey is the Worship Leader at theDonia. He was born in Jacksonville, then lived in Daytona Beach and Monroe Georgia before moving back to Jacksonville. Joel started playing drums the summer before 9th grade. Later, while in high school at Ed White, he began leading the singing at many student events at his church.
In 2008, he came to Macedonia for a few weeks to fill in on the drums and became one of theDonia’s regular musicians. After being a substitute worship leader a couple of times, Joel became our weekly Worship Leader, in 2010. Joel says that, “ Leading worship is an amazing experience and something that I love doing, and look forward to, every single week.”
When he is not playing music at the church, he enjoys playing putt-putt golf, going to the movies, watching tv, riding his bike and spending time with his friends. He also enjoys helping homeless and people in need whenever possible. You can reach Joel at jstuck77@hotmail.com, and “friend him” on Facebook, facebook.com/jstuck77.
