SADDLE TREE COWBOY CHURCH

WELCOME

Welcome visitors! We are happy to have you here with us through a ministry that calls cowboys, farmers and rural citizens who have not felt welcome or included due to lack of understanding on who Jesus is and why He loves them and desires a personal relationship with them. We are a growing church located at the Community Center in May, Texas. Contact us to learn more about Saddle Tree Cowboy Church!

Get to Know Us

As I look back on previous years, I have been aware of God's hand in bringing my wife and I to the May, Texas area What we believed would be a slower pace living at the lake. My wife retired after 46 years in nursing and me, working part-time with my handyman service.

I contacted our local Baptist Association to offer my services to pulpit supply and remodeling if a church was in need.

Pulpit supply was picking up fairly regularly and life was steady and quiet. The handyman business was busy from thw day we moved in, and still is. Thankfully!

I was asked to be interim at a church and supplied at it for five weeks but when my wife and I prayed concerning this position, the Lord didn't move us in that direction.

Then in September, I was called to possibly take a pastorate position at a cowboy church near Austin, Texas. I had inquired about it and was interviewed. With prayerful consideration, the Lord impressed upon me that "I didn't move you to Smithville, I move you to May, Texas." I didn't understand at the time what He was speaking to my spirit until I asked, "You want me to start a church in May, Texas?" I admit I was in shock to put it lightly. So, my wife and I kept praying.

I spoke with my pastor at First Baptist Church in May, Texas and our DOM at Heart of Texas Baptist Network. They blessed it and committed to pray for me and my wife for clarity and guidance.

We have now come to the understanding that God is calling us to start a Cowboy Church in May, Texas. To win the lost, to call the wanderers from the faith back to a growing relationship with the Lord and disciple the weak in faith.

I believe through a ministry that calls cowboys, farmers and rural citizens that have not felt welcome or included due to a lack of understanding on who Jesus is and why He loves them and desires a personal relationship with them.

SADDLE

There are many kinds of saddles that have been developed throughout history. There are saddles used for different events in the equine world and other areas for animals used. There are racing saddles, jumping, rodeo, military back in the days of mounted cavalry, pleasure riding, working cowboy, English pleasure, pack saddles, even saddles they put on camels in the desert continents.

Saddles are used in all these areas to protect the animals back while in use and the riders backside which is an added benefit. Using this item in the naming of the church has to do with the western Heritage culture into which we are reaching out. We are Saddling up to win the lost, the Unchurched, the Wayward in faith and to develop a community of faith and accepts all, as we will Learn of God's Great Love and Salvation Through Jesus Christ.

TREE

In the western saddle, the Tree is the frame of the saddle which all the leather is attached to hold the saddle together. It makes it function correctly for the purpose it is designed.

The tree that holds our Life together is the Tree that Jesus Christ The Savior of the World gave His life on. That Whosoever believes in Him will have abundant life Now and throughout Eternity.

The Cross of Jesus is the Tree where New Life begins,

Jesus Said, Come All who are weak and burdened I (Jesus) will give you Rest!

Nothing is impossible with God.
