Don't miss our next Cowboy Church Worship Service May 28th 7 PM at the Boone County Fairgrounds Arena Building! We will likely be meeting in the front of the building this particular evening because there will be a Paint Horse Show going on in the arena that same day. (Riders, please don't bring horses to ride this one service.)

Our One-Year Anniversary Service was a great success!!!

We had 105 people at the service and dinner. We also had 15 horses and riders. Thanks to all who helped set up for the service and the dinner and the many that helped put it all away at the end of the evening. Thanks also to all who brought the great dishes for our potluck dinner. Deb Diller's demonstration of Natural Horsemenship was awesome and appreciated by everyone. Our service was lively, fun and hopefully honoring to the Good Lord. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful adventure called Gateway to the High Country Cowboy Church, then come along and join us for our next service on May 28th.

Cowboys, cowgirls and horse lovers of all brands will be glad to hear there is a new Cowboy Church in town!. The “Gateway to the High Country Cowboy Church” is meeting at the Boone County Fairgrounds Arena Building in Columbia, Missouri.

The New Cowboy Church has now met twice a month since May of 2011.  Those attending have experienced some rousing good country gospel music from a great five-member Christian Cowboy Band, Testimonies and Cowboy Skits. Then Cowboy Preacher, Dale Larison, brings a plain-spoken message from the Bible using stories and word pictures to illustrate God's message which is always relevant to our lives.  After the service, everyone enjoys a time of making new friends and partaking of some good Cowboy Coffee or cool refreshing Lemonade and other Cowboy Goodies.  Also, those who bring their own horses may ride them in the arena at the end of the service.

“I like the informal setting. The music was great and the love of the Lord through the whole service was very encouraging.” said Cathy Walker of Fayette. When asked what she liked about the service, Cara Webster, of Auxvasse said, “The music was amazing and, since we are barrel racers in our family, I thought it was pretty neat to see a horse incorporated into a worship service.”

The new Cowboy Church is meeting every 2^nd and 4^th Monday night of each month at 7 PM at the Boone County Fair Grounds Arena Building. (Beginning in June we will be meeting every Monday!) To get to the Fairgrounds go north on Hwy 63 from I-70 to the Brown School Road exit.  Then turn right and go to the stop sign and then turn right again on E. Starke Avenue.  After E. Starke Ave makes a sharp left turn, the entrance to the Fairgrounds is on the left.  Turn there and go in to the large exhibit and arena building ahead on the left.

“We welcome cowboys, cowgirls, horse lovers; all who have that independent all-American cowboy spirit or anyone who would just enjoy the ‘come-as-you-are’ informal feel that a cowboy church offers. And you don’t have to have a cowboy hat.” said the cowboy preacher with a big grin across his face.  “Why, even city-slickers are welcome if they want to have a great time! “
