The Foundation of
Cowboy Church
As our nation grew, many of our ancestors worked as cowboys on
untamed frontiers. Sometimes alone on a vast landscape, with only
cattle for company, many of these “Cowboys” turned to God for
companionship. A deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ was
most often the result of those lonely days and nights on the vast
prairies of this new land. Worship was simple, straightforward,
honest and deep abiding. As our ancestors traveled this new land
they had church where ever they where at the time. Weather on
horseback, in the wagons or under the stars. This type of worship
kept the family close together and closer to God.
When you walk into "Cowboy
Church" you will be walking into an old west style setting. The
preaching is honest and the message is simple. You’ll always get a
warm Howdy and a great big hug. There is an informal “Come as you
are,” down to earth, love one other type atmosphere at Round Pen
Cowboy Ministries. People are hungry for something real and Round
Pen is breaking down the walls that have separated people from
enjoying a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
You are
welcome at Round Pen no matter where you come from, what your
background is, or even what you’re wearing. Pastor's Toby and
Paula Abbott seen a need in this community for a Western Heritage
Church. “We keep it Cowboy and Simple
here at Round Pen” said Pastor Toby. Our goal is to keep the Western
Heritage alive and kickin’. Our Job and Our Ministry is to keep the
“Punch in Punchy” and to let people know that Cowboy’s are here to
stay. Pastor's Toby and Paula Abbott would like to invite you to come
ride along with them, as it will surely cinch up your faith on God’s
word.
We are a
non-denominational Spirit filled Cowboy Church, that brings the Balance of
Spirit and Truth to God's word. We believe in the whole word of God, from
beginning to
end. We teach the fullness of God's word and bring Balance to the body of
Christ.
