Cortez, CO- Mark and Suzanne Baker felt a calling to reach out to the cowboy community in Cortez. Thanks to support from sponsoring congregation Baptist Chapel in Cortez, Southwest Cowboy Church is growing and fast.

“We seem to attract people who steer away from other churches who are more structured but they have a desire to learn more about God.” Baker said.

Rounding Up Cowboys for Christ

Loveland, Colo.- Nestled under the shadow of the Devil’s Backbone of Horsetooth mountain in Loveland, Colorado, a bright light shines in a renovated dairy barn. Once adorned with cattle stalls and hay, the barn is now filled with the sweet sound of worship from the group of believers and seekers that is Round Up in Glory Cowboy Church.

The barn was not always their place of worship. In 2008, Greg and Mitzi Deal and their children began to pray that the Lord would give them the valley in which they live in Loveland to reach for Christ. They live on a farm with “every animal you think of,” as their middle child Jodie candidly described. Greg Deal, the pastor of Round Up in Glory, said, “It donned on me that there is a culture that I could reach for Christ right in my backyard, and that is the cowboy culture.”

NAMB Missionary Ballard Roams Idaho, Planting SBC Churches

BLACKFOOT, Idaho – Wearing a hat like the one famed cowboy actor Tom Mix made famous in westerns in the ‘20s and ‘30s, a vest, brown cowboy boots and a full gray beard, Jim Ballard looks like he himself just stepped out of a Hollywood studio’s central casting.
 
But unlike the silver screen cowboys of old, Ballard spends his long Idaho days recruiting church planters and helping plant new churches as director of missions for the Eastern Idaho Southern Baptist Association. In ministry for the last 37 years, he’s also served as a North American Mission Board missionary for the past seven.
 
Born in Pueblo, Colo., Ballard grew up working on ranches and farms so he relates well to the ranching and farming community of eastern Idaho.

“We have to find times that work for them,” he said, explaining that the typical 11 a.m. worship service is out of the question if pastors expect cowboys and ranchers to show up.

“Their responsibility is the life of their animals. It’s their livelihood and a stewardship. Come Sunday morning, the cattle have to be fed just like they do on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s seven days a week. So we have afternoon and evening churches up here,” said Ballard. “All the chores are done, they’re through with their day, so having church later eliminates any excuse for them, as far as coming to church.”

One Crazy Cowboy in the Park... Who can sing!

Shorty Huffman, Senior Pastor, Kersey Cowboy Church

On July 25, 2011, we hosted Scott Brown, a professional rodeo cowboy, singer, songwriter and ordained minister, in Kohler Park in Kersey, Colorado.  It was an evening of praise and worship…cowboy style!

We had 150 people in attendance and hampered some by heat and the threat of thunder, lightning, wind and rain, we moved the event into the Platte Valley Middle School field House. We fed everyone grilled hamburgers (freshly ground Black Angus, as you would expect from a Cowboy Church), chips and Eileen’s famous cookies, and all the condiments and cold drinks to boot (pardon the pun).

HorseGate Ministry uses horses to share Christ

HorseGate Ministry

ELBERT- What do you think when you look at a horse? Is it another of God's creations, or maybe you just never gave it much thought. When I see a horse, I think about an opportunity to share Christ.

 Like a Christian songwriter who wants to write songs that honor and praise God, I want to use the horse to honor and praise God. Thus, God has called into creation HorseGate ministry.

It all started in 1997 at a John Lyon's Horse Symposium in Denver. John is a Christian and tours the world teaching people about horses.

He starts his Sundays with a Cowboy Worship Service. I was at a service one Sunday and learned how to share Christ through the horse.
