The Copper Mountain Story

Copper Mountain Assembly of God began in 1995 by people wanting to reach out to the fast-growing communities of Oro Valley and Northwest Tucson. 

Originally founded by Pastor Bill Seale, Copper Mountain's worship gatherings were held at Copper Creek Elementary School. Recently they finished building phase one of a worship facility on beautiful desert situated on a major thoroughfare.

In February of 2009, Chris Puccini became the lead pastor of Copper Mountain.

 

 

Our Process

Connecting with others in church can be a confusing and frustrating experience. It is our intent to simplify this by encouraging everyone who comes to Copper Mountain to connect with other people in one of our smaller groups. Our opportunities include the following:

1. Participation in our weekend service.

2. Participation in one of our Life Groups. 

3. Giving back by serving. For more information on our serving opportunities, check out the Serving section of the website.

Our Core Values

Community- Cod designed us for community, so we will experience life with other believers

Outreach- People matter to God, so we will tell others about Christ.

Practical- God's Word is more than philosophy, so we will talk about how to live out the Message. 

Passion- We have the greatest treasure, so we will be passionate about worship, ministry, prayer, and our life's mission

Enjoy- God's joy is our life's strength, so we will have fun, laugh, and celebrate life together. 

Relevance- God's Word is ancient truth that still speaks to life in modern language. We will be relevant to the culture God has called us to.

Missions- God's heart beats for the lost, so we will give to missions and go on missions trips. 

Training- God wants us to grow, so we will train others to be fully equipped disciple-makers

Our Purpose and Mission Statement

We exist to be passionate followers of Christ and to strengthen the spiritual journey of others.

 

Affiliations and Beliefs

Copper Mountain is affiliated with the Assemblies of God. Who we are and what we do as a church must always be securely rooted in what we believe about God. The Bible is the source that shapes our understanding of Him. We are convinced that the Bible is the inspired message to humanity and that it provides for us a clear path toward a relationship with Him.
 

Our Beliefs:

The 16 Fundamental Truths

  1. WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

  2. WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God–revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

  3. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.

  4. WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

  5. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances—(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

  7. WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  8. WE BELIEVE... The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

  9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

  10. WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.

  11. WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the Church and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.

  12. WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  13. WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope—When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  14. WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

  15. WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.

  16. WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
