    As I said, these men and women in my area work the cattle auctions, other animal auctions, and rodeos all weekend - most weekends.

    They CAN'T be in church on Sundays and want to fellowship with other believers. They found a local church that let's them meet on Tuesday nights and they have an ordained pastor. It's advertised as a cowboy church to let people who work as they do that there is an option to Sundays in which they cannot meet.

    It's not a segregated membership. Anyone can attend although the majority are the cowboys and cowgirls. It's not a costume day. Jeans and hats are their daily wear.

    Their only other option is to not attend church at all.

    The only cowboy church I'm familiar with, enough to have visited a couple of times, is in my hometown in Arizona. It started as a church plant sponsored by my home church, and it's basically a place where the atmosphere is less formal, and it has a ministry and a schedule that fits with local ranchers and farmers, and a more acoustic music style. Those who accompany the worship include a guitarist, a violinist and someone playing the dobro, familiar choruses and songs, but different sound. The hat rack at the back holds 60 cowboy hats.
