You Might Be At A Cowboy Church

Rick Derrick is a man outstanding in his field.
He's also the preacher for the newly-established West of the Pecos Cowboy Church in Pecos, Texas.  Soon they will build a building on this dusty patch of land.

What is a cowboy church, you ask?  Well, here are some things you might look for at a cowboy church. Some of these were taken from the church's own Facebook page, and some were taken from Baptistboard.com.  I found the pictures here and there:

  • If baptism is referred to as a branding and most folks' Bibles have a Gideon's stamp on the cover, you might be a member of the Cowboy Church.

  • If the last thing you do at church is sing "Happy Trails to You" and the pastor says "Ya'll come back now you hear," you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If people say "Yee Haw" instead of "Amen" at the end of a prayer, you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If the baptistry is a galvanized horse trough, you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If your cutting horse has more formal training than your pastor, you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If the bucking machine was the most popular event at your VBS, you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If the playground has several roping dummies, you might be at a Cowboy Church.

  • If you get slapped in the face with a rope as you are walking through the parking lot, you might be at a Cowboy Church.
