In 2000, Pastor Randy was invited to preach at a local Bible study in Montgomery, Texas, igniting a clear vision in the hearts of Pastor Randy and Pastor Darla. They felt a distinct calling from God to plant an authentic, welcoming church designed to meet people exactly where they were with the grace and love of Jesus Christ. From those humble beginnings, Montgomery Cowboy Fellowship was born.

The initial Monday night services took place in an old western-town setup in downtown Montgomery. There was nothing fancy about those early gatherings, just good people coming together to open Scripture, worship, and build genuine community. Yet behind the simple setup was a big mission: to create a place where cowboys, cowgirls, ranchers, and families from all walks of life could find a place to belong. As the fellowship grew, the Monday night gatherings moved from location to location, including stops at the Texas Perfection Ranch and the Price Ranch, expanding the church’s reach with every move.

Step by step, God provided a permanent 52-acre home along Highway 105 in downtown Montgomery. Taking on the property was a major leap of faith, but before a sanctuary could be built, the congregation gathered under a large tent. Through sweltering Texas summers and cold winter nights, those unpolished days served as a powerful reminder that the church was never defined by a brick-and-mortar building, but by a faithful community. During that season, the church also erected a rodeo arena on the property, turning event competitions into a hands-on ministry for the Western community.

Eventually, after enduring seasons of the elements and trusting in God, the long-awaited sanctuary was built. As the ministry expanded its reach, it became Lone Star Cowboy Church. From a handful of people meeting for a weeknight Bible study to a thriving church family, every chapter of our story highlights God’s constant provision. Today, Lone Star Cowboy Church carries that exact same heart: welcoming people to come as they are, find real community, and experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
