Arena of Life Cowboy Church

This church is in the Texas Panhandle town of McLean. I have never seen a cowboy church before! They actually have a rodeo arena across the street, which is also called the Arena of Life.

They are becoming very common in eastern Texas. I know of two nearby with rodeo arenas.

A friend of mine goes to a church in Irving that has recently reconstituted itself as a cowboy church. My buddy plays pedal steel guitar in the band there.

Christianity has many guises in the US ... we don't get this sort of thing in Oz.

I find it fascinating!

Wait till you see the photos I took of the Jesus Christ Is Lord Truck Stop in Amarillo, Texas. LOL! We do have some interesting forms of Christianity!

Here is the other photograph that I made at the cowboy church. This is the gates to the rodeo arena across the street.

We have a Cowboy Church here in our county that meets each Sunday in the Rodeo Arena at the county fairgrounds. Very active in our area.

Next time you visit Fort Worth, Texas check out the cowboy chapel in the Stock Yards District..

There is a lot of religious diversity and gimormous installations like crosses and stations of the cross and Stonehenge and of course the planted Cadillacs in Texas.

Is it anywhere near the White Elephant Saloon? 😱

Used to be but has since moved to the train station area..

Drove by a Cowboy church near Kalispell, MT. Not really surprised there are more!

I'd never heard of cowboy churches until I saw this one! Of course, there aren't many cowboys in Indiana (country music fans who insist on wearing western wear even though country music originated in the south, not the west, do not count as cowboys!).
