Rafter J Cowboy Church

What denomination is Rafter J Cowboy Church?

Rafter J Cowboy Church functions as an interdenominational fellowship gladly welcoming anyone. You are always welcome at Cowboy Church no matter where you come from, what your background is, or even what you’re wearing. Cowboy Church was established to fill a need in our community with the same type of Western Heritage from the Old West.

Do I have to be a Cowboy to attend Rafter J?

The answer is NO! Our membership is very diversified. There are members who have never even been on a horse! The cowboy culture welcomes folks who may not feel comfortable, for their own personal reasons, in a conventional church. Every one is welcome into our family at Rafter J.

You can call the church line directly. Our church secretary, Tammy Cope can be reached at the church office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9-2 or you can click Here and e-mail the person you would like to contact.

How Do I Get Involved At Rafter J?

There is always something to do at Rafter J. We have teams that are headed up by a team leader. The team leaders meet monthly with the elders and the Pastor to discuss church planning and growth. Each team is made up of volunteers who wish to be involved in this wonderful ministry. Some of the teams remain fully staffed while other teams are always in desperate need of help.

We have volunteer cards available at the welcome table just inside the arena door. If you are interested in becoming involved, you can fill out a card and drop it in the offering house at the arena gate and someone will contact you.

How do I express my desire to become a member of Rafter J?

We have our Green Sheets at the welcome table that you can fill out and drop in the offering house. You will be contacted for a pre-membership meeting. This meeting is for the Pastor to get to know you and a time for you to get to know all about the church. This is a great time to ask any questions about the church that you may have before joining. In this meeting you will be given a book with all the information in it about Rafter J. You will be asked to pray about joining and if this is where God's wants you, then the Pastor will acknowledge you on the following Sunday as new members of Rafter J Cowboy Church.

Our band works very hard to provide a well-blended variety of music. Each service offers a wide range of music from traditional hymns, to contemporary Christian music, bluegrass, cowboy ballads, blues and even some jazz. There is something for everyone at Rafter J!

How should I dress for church?

Our services are held in the arena. We sit on hale bales and folding chairs. Some find it easier to sit in the bleachers or to pull a chair up to the rail of the arena and sit on the patio. Some people wear jeans and some people people wear church clothes. Just come how ever you are comfortable.
