HISTORY
Randy Harden

Thanks for taking time to read what God is doing at Cowboy Church.

Mother's Day 2004, we stepped out believing that God gave us a vision to start a Cowboy Church in Lafayette, Ga. My wife, Sandy and I called about 20 friends and family members and asked them if we had lost our minds or did they think that this whole idea would work. They all agreed that it must be God.  We set up a tent 10'x10' outside Joe Williams' Barn. With about 50 chairs donated, we started to prepare for church. Jim "Buck" Jones headed our music up which most say is one of the most awesome parts of Cowboy Church. He had lead music for years in other churches and is very gifted. We do a lot of Country gospel, bluegrass and older songs. We do not have a full time Preacher because we felt the Lord wanted to use this Church to allow preachers that did not have a home church a place to minister. This was definitely different from any church we had ever heard of but we had to follow God's lead.  We were a little concerned how we would find these ministries but God took care of business. We made a few calls to people we knew and now we have a waiting list of people willing to come and minister at Cowboy Church here in LaFayette.

We made a list of people that we worked with in the horse business, family and friends and we told them the plan for our first service on Mother's Day 2004.  At the first service we had 105 people. Praise the Lord! That was definitely confirmation to us that we were lined up with God's Plan for this community. The attendance averaged about 60 for the first month and then began to rise. Now close to 4 years later, our attendance averages 300 - 500 every Sunday morning.

 
God has changed a lot of lives for the better, delivered some from addictions of all sorts, brought families back together and saved so many. I could write all day and still not be able to tell you the entire story of what He has done here at Cowboy Church. All He asks of us is to be available and He will do the rest and we are looking forward to seeing God reveal his plan for us for our future.  We have moved to 92 acres of God given property.  We look forward to being part of this new direction for Cowboy Church and will continue the vision that God has given us for Cowboy Church.   

 

Outreach

 

 

Our outreach program is very horse related.

We have roping twice weekly from beginners to advanced, rodeo bible school for the kids in the summer months, a drill team that performs for rodeos etc, team penning, trail classes, horse shows, rodeo team (above) and more.  There is always something going on here at Cowboy Church.  Just drop by any day of the week and you'll probably find someone here or something going on. We had an Awesome Year in 2007 and expect even greater things in 2008.   You don't want to miss any of it. We feel God is fully in control of what is going on at Cowboy Church, we take no credit. He is using us to fulfill His plans and we are Thankful.

 
Come join us Sunday 10:30am and see for yourself.
 

 

                                 

David didn't know his picture was being taken and it was obvious that his welcome was sincere!!!  

 
We have mounted greeters at the gate and another team of special greeters as you come inside. The barn is huge and so is the view. It’s a piece of heaven on earth.  We have a huge arena we use for special events which we want to eventually cover.  We have plenty of seats and sawdust floors. We have coffee, hot chocolate and donuts every Sunday morning for you to enjoy before our service starts. We have different ministries every week.   Our praise team is awesome and they specialize in Country Gospel music.  We roll up the tarps in the spring and the breeze blows through.  We leave the tarps down in the winter and we all stay cozy and warm. Everywhere you sit there is a view.  It just doesn't get any better then that!!

Now I’ve said all of that just to say this:

Come see what God gives us to offer you at Cowboy Church! You don’t have to own a horse or even wear a hat. We have people from all walks of life, even Harley Riders.  Dress comfortable and come enjoy the awesome presence of God.  If you've never felt God's presence before, then you're in for a treat.  God is definitely in this place and we are so blessed to be able to feel that presence.  We take no credit for what God is doing here at Cowboy Church. but we will continue to obey him in whatever direction he leads us. If you’ve ever wanted to just be loved and welcomed JUST AS YOU ARE, come visit us! We would love to meet and get to know you.
