Thursday Bible Studies
Every Thursday
Dear Friend,
Thank you for your interest in the Cowboy Church! We so appreciate you taking the time to learn about us.
We're an informal, "come as you are" gathering of Jesus followers who love God and one another. We want to grow in our knowledge of Christ while sharing His message of love, grace, and forgiveness in our daily lives.

The Cowboy Church is a Christian non-denominational, country church located in Ham Lake, Minnesota, just minutes north of the Twin Cities. We have a distinct western style that caters to both country and city people alike.
Our goal is to reach people who either don’t know the Lord or haven't found a church that fits their needs - regardless of whether they are regular church goers or haven't attended a church in their life.
People often say the Cowboy Church is "the warmest, most welcoming church they've ever attended." It's a relaxed atmosphere where you'll feel right at home. Best of all, it's a place where you can connect with a group of people who will encourage and support you when life beats you down.
Our Sunday services begin at 10:00 am sharp with the clamoring of a farm triangle, and ends 60-70 minutes later with a rousing rendition of "Happy Trails."
Attire is casual and whatever feels comfortable. You'll see lots of cowboy hats, baseball caps, boots, western wear, t-shirts and tennis shoes - but not too many three-piece suits!
Arrive early and make a nostalgic visit to our General Store. While there, treat yourself to some free coffee and snacks from our awesome Chuck-Wagon Bakers!
We want to grow in our knowledge of Christ while sharing His message of love, grace, and forgiveness in our daily lives.
We want to ignite a lifelong passion for Christ in our children and students. We have programming for ages 1 through Grade 8:
Children's and Student Ministries Classes:

At the Cowboy Church, you'll hear messages that are relevant and can be applied to your life. Each Sunday, Pastor Joe presents a straightforward, plain-speaking approach to teaching the Gospel - and he does so with passion.
James 1:22 says, "Be doers of the word and not hearers only." For this reason, our Bible-based messages are not just intended to provide you with head-knowledge, but to equip you into becoming a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ, as evidenced by you:
We love to celebrate our salvation in Jesus Christ through Spirit-led music. Our seven-to-eight piece worship band leads us each week with a blend of traditional hymns and modern praise music - always done with a country flair that you can sing along to.
At the Cowboy Church, you won't be distracted by fog machines, fancy light shows, or other special effects. We believe in keeping things simple, and allowing the Godly messages contained in our music to bless people's hearts.
In addition to Sunday morning fellowship, the best way to connect with others at the Cowboy Church is to join one of our Thursday Bible Studies.
Our Thursday Bible Studies are facilitator-led small groups of eight to 10 people who study God's Word together, and share how it applies to their lives. Learn more on the Thursday Bible Studies page.
Prayer is an integral part of the Cowboy Church. In addition to praying corporately during our Sunday worship service, we have members of our Prayer Team available to a pray with guests one-on-one. Prayer requests submitted to the church are immediately forwarded to our team of prayer warriors, who diligently pray over every request.
