If you want to experience passion or purpose you can get the both when you are around Pastor Melissa Chastain! The Chastain family have been living in the Rockies for 8 years and serve with a non-denominational congregation, Copper Mountain Community Church, where Melissa is now the Teaching Pastor. The entire Chastain family of 5 also are integrated into the high adrenaline ministry of SSFC (Skiers & Snowboards For Christ).

For all of the rush their family ministry model is really quite simple:

  • Love.
  • Love God.
  • Love one another.
  • Love people.
  • Love them all well and long.

From a mountain top chapel worship service to handing out cookies to all of the employees of Copper Mountain you will find Pastor Melissa, 1st Dude Don, their family, and their church family doing just this – loving well and long!

“God called us as a family to the mountains, not just for the mountains, but for the forgotten people that God loves so very much!”
