It’s just to much.

Cowboy churches are quite common in Texas and they are nearly all very conservatve.

There is a long history of these churches in the West.

There is a Cowboy Church in Meeteetse, Wyoming right where I was born in 1939.

My dad Sold the place about 1950.

I remember the beginnings of cowboy churches, made sense then and still does. People that rodeo for a living travel constantly and seldom are at home.

Many rodeo people are Christian and want to attend church but it was difficult for them to find out necessary information- time, location, etc. to attend church in a town they may only be in for a few hours or a day. Add to that mix that most are driving trucks, pulling horse trailers and don’t want to wander about town too much. Due to clothing and cultural issues they also did not feel welcome at many churches if they did manage to hunt one up.

Cowboy church solved those issues, the church service is held right at the rodeo grounds so not hard to find, others there dress and act as you do and in fact are your friends that you rodeo with so it is like a community church wherever you may be.

Cowboy church has grown to include many other people; mostly rural people who again may not feel welcome at the church in the nearest town/city. I am not sure why you are against Cowboy Church, it is much like the small town church of our past. I think judgmental people like you are the reason Cowboy Churches exist.
