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.

MEET SKIPPER CALDER
Skipper Calder, CEO and Founder of Cowboy Up Ministry, sits down with Liberty USA sharing his faith journey and how God called him to start Cowboy Up Ministry so everyone has the chance to experience God’s love, acceptance, and forgiveness. Skipper gives real-life principles for relationships and teaches the Bible in an easy-to-understand manner, with a simple cowboy approach.

WHO WE ARE
Here at Cowboy Up Ministry, we are driven by a single goal; to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, and the power to live It.
Our values are love, acceptance, forgiveness, respect, leadership, teamwork, discipleship and safety.

Skipper uses horse training techniques to bring a message titled, “God Created us to do Good Works’” Part 3 of the “Living Up to Your Full Potential." If God created us to do “Good Works” how do we know what that is?
You will never reach your full potential without the “Good Works” God already prepared for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Good Works will never produce salvation, but Salvation will always produce Good Works.
Philippians 2:1-2 If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
Philippians 2:13 …for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.

"Extremely laid back, non-judgmental environment, where everyone is welcomed like family . Skipper has an amazing talent training the horses and ties his approach and training to the relationship we should strive to have with God."
Pamela McLaughlin
"Skipper and the ministry present the TRUE word of the Lord, in terms that anyone, no matter if an unbeliever or long time Christian can understand. They are willing to be the vessel God can use in their humbleness. I saw your service on Palm Sunday both Skipper and JP let the Lord speak the truth through them. You can hear the same story as a child and as a grown up, then there is a whole new way the Lord can speak to you! Thank you all for being willing servants."
