Horse Training With a Message
Cowboy Up Ministry is about teaching people and horses. Skipper Calder uses a horse each Sunday to teach "Love, Respect and Leadership: for animals, people and God." Skipper gives real-life principles for relationships and teaches the Bible in an easy to understand manner, with a simple cowboy approach.
If you love God and horses, you will love Cowboy Up Ministry.

Skipper Calder brings horse training with a message! Today's message is titled,
“Why Should God Not Hate Me?”
​
What if someone treated us, the way we treat God, would we even be friends. Are we like that friend who only calls us when they need something? Do we act like a spoiled child, that tells their parents what they want? Do we use God like a shopping list? Telling him our wants. Do we treat him as our slave, telling him what ‘He” needs to do? Do we use God like a spare tire, keeping him in the trunk until we have a flat tire and need him?
​
The short answer to, “Why should God not hate me?” because God created us, and He loves His creation.
​
Romans 5:8 God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
​
What should our response be? Luke 15 & Acts 2:38

Family friendly atmosphere. Lots of love here and everyone is welcome. Lots of opportunities for those whose families are miles away to be treated like family. God knew what He was doing when He formed this ministry. People's live have been changed into a more deeper relationship with God. You don't need a horse to come here, but love for horses and people is very helpful.
