Church At South Mountain
Mission
God has given the vision and established the purposes for His church in the pages of Scripture, and regardless of where God's people are located or what racial or economical environment they are in, her purpose is the same.
We believe the mission of the church is...
To worship and glorify God.
To be a pillar and support of the truth as revealed in the Bible.
To create an atmosphere for encouragement and fellowship for the saints.
To equip the saints to use their spiritual gifts and apply the truth .
To preach the gospel which God ordained for the saving of the elect .
Our Vision Statement
To magnify the glory of God by proclaiming the gospel of grace to every race, and preparing believers through clear Bible teaching to impact their world.
The Church at South Mountain is a Bible-based Christian fellowship. We do not have any denominational affiliation, but we do participate in missions and with other ministries of like faith and order.
History
The Church at South Mountain was born out of a passion to fulfill the great commission "to go into all the world and make disciples" (Mt. 28:18-20). As an Associate Pastor at North Phoenix Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Richard Jackson, Marvin Knight consistently sought ways to extend the gospel to the then unreached area of South Phoenix where he grew up. After much prayer and planning, he and Associate Pastor Rich Wells followed God's call to plant a church.
The Church at South Mountain began July 10, 1994, with 30 members.
The first place of meeting was Holdeman Elementary School.
CASM began baptizing new believers right away at First Southern Scottsdale and currently does so at First Christian Church.
Rich Wells, Associate Pastor, officially came on staff in June 1995.
In 1996, CASM moved to a larger facility, Nevitt Elementary School, to accommodate growth.
In 1998, the first elders were ordained for church leadership.
CASM meets for almost 6 years in business parks.
In 2003, CASM purchases 3.3 acres of land on 7th Avenue, just north of Broadway.
Also in 2003, CASM moves to Cesar Chavez High School to aid in the preparation for the construction of new facilities.
In 2004, CASM temporarily moves to First Christian Church.
Since December 2004, CASM has been meeting at Phoenix Preparatory Academy located at 7th Street and Fillmore in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
