Before coming to The Bible Church of Owasso, Ted earned a Master of Divinity from The Master’s Seminary and served for three years as an Associate Pastor at Tulsa Bible Church.

After graduating from Oregon State University, Chuck worked in the service/sales industry in Houston, TX. During those years, Chuck’s desire to serve the Lord in full-time ministry grew, and he left the business world to attend The Master’s Seminary where he earned a Master of Divinity degree.

Since that time, the Lord has allowed Chuck to serve in associate pastor roles in both Alabama and Kansas. He also served as senior pastor for several years. Chuck loves the church of God; his passions in ministry include discipling men, equipping the saints for ministry, and using his administrative/teaching gifts to serve the body of Christ. Chuck’s partner in ministry is his wife, Kathy. They have three adult children: Scott and his wife, Chelsea, Mark, and Rebecca.

Andrew serves as an associate pastor for youth and welcome ministry at BCO. He enjoys teaching the Bible and equipping young people to love Christ and serve His Church. God mercifully gave Andrew faith in Christ as a young child. Andrew’s desire for ministry grew through his involvement in his childhood church in Spokane, Washington. Throughout this time he had the privilege of being mentored by godly men as he moved towards full-time ministry. In 2016, Andrew and his wife Carly moved to Southern California to be trained at The Master’s Seminary. While there, he served college students as a Resident Director at The Master’s University.

Andrew and Carly have three wonderful children. The Copleys love reading, music, coffee, and exploring God’s creation. They are so thankful to be at BCO!

During that time, the Lord grew Max’s desire for full-time ministry, and Max left his engineering career to attend The Master’s Seminary, where he completed the Master of Divinity program in May 2023. Max loves to teach the Scriptures, proclaim the glories of Christ, and build men up through sound theology.

During seminary, Max met and married his wife, Hillary. They are expecting their first child in November 2023. Max loves to read, compete in sports and board games, hunt, fish, and backpack. Both Max and Hillary love animals and hope to be able to raise several animals in the future.
