Howdy Folks,

Toby Keith sings the song, "I Should Have Been a Cowboy".  Well, some of you are cowboys and cowgirls and some of you have always wanted to be cowboys.  You have that independent, all-American spirit within you that we think of when we think of the American Cowboy. 

Well, that's the spirit those of us who have started this new Cowboy Church have.  We're not afraid to break new ground because we have sensed that "the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills" is out there ahead of us, breaking the trail.

Some years ago, when I was pastoring a small country church in Bend, Oregon, I heard about a Cowboy Church that was meeting in a horse arena in Redmond, Oregon. The idea intrigued me and the thought never left me after that, that someday I wanted to be a part of such a unique church ministry. 

Finally, God's timing is perfect. (How could it be anything else!)  I have made many great Christian friends as I have served as a Pastor throughout Central Missouri, and some of them are real cowboys and some are horse lovers of various kinds.  But we all share a common vision.  We want to see others come to know what we know about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

So, if you would like to meet some genuinely nice folks, if you like good country music, and if you think horses are great, then come out to the Boone County Fairgrounds Horse Arena every 2^nd and 4^th Monday of the month and join us for our services.  We guarantee you’ll have a great time and that the message you will hear will be straight from the Word of God.

And then plan to stick around for the cowboy refreshments afterwards.  We’d like to get to know you before you saddle-up and ride off into the sunset.

Happy Trails,

Dale E. Larison, Cowboy Preacher
