LSCC transformed my relationship with Jesus Christ. My husband and I, and our children are all…read moreCatholic, and were devoted parishioners until COVID shut down Masses. I wanted my family in church, and through a series of events we found LSCC. That little church community revolutionized my marriage, my children's walk with Christ, my friendships -- I could go on & on. It frightens me to think that I could have gone my whole life thinking I was a "good Christian" when I was so very far from being "all in" with Christ.
Randy is the REAL DEAL, and if I could be half the woman Darla is, I'd be doing great!
I saw a review stating that the church wasn't Bible believing/teaching, and with all due respect, that simply isn't true. In fact, Randy didn't even plan on being a preacher, he just wanted to have a really good community Bible study, and it blew up. That's right, the entire church started out as a Bible study. Honestly, I feel if time wasn't a constraint, Randy (and the other pastors) could preach for HOURS and we'd all be glued to the lesson. The "Digging Deep" Bible study is offered before church (and during the week) and takes you further and more richly into the Scriptures that surround Sunday's services. In fact, I grew up in traditional Protestant and Catholic Churches, and it wasn't until I started to attend LSCC that I actually studied and understood the Bible.
The services are honest, timely, Biblical, and I can count on one hand how many times I made it through one of Pastor Randy, Pastor Amber or Pastor Rob's sermons without bawling my eyes out. To that end, it was the first place I ever audibly heard the voice of God. I had authentically felt the presence of the Lord, but never heard Him. And, to be honest, I always made fun of/questioned folks saying "God told me...", until it happened to me, right there in LSCC. And, I'm not the only one...I've seen hardened veterans, big burley cow hands, little old ladies and 7 year old children all walk down the aisle with tears in their eyes as they accepted Jesus into their hearts.
The Next Gen program (lead by Pastor Amber) is mind blowingly amazing. My three year old's only fits were when we'd tell him it was time to leave Sunday school. My six year old accurately and contextually quotes Scripture. Also, I teach high schoolers who attend LSCC and they are all authentically pursuing their Great Commission. So, if you have kiddos and you care about their walk, get them to LSCC ASAP.
We're now in Montana, and the absolute hardest part of leaving Texas wasn't leaving family and friends, though that was hard, it was leaving LSCC. We cried during after our last service there, and bawled some more when Pastor Amber prayed over our family as she said her goodbyes. We now go to church in-person here, but watch the LSCC online service on Monday mornings, because nothing here compares to the message and Great Commission work being done at that little Cowboy church in Montgomery, TX.
If you want a REAL, all in, unbridled, unfiltered relationship with the Lord, and a community and leadership to help you get there, Lone Star Cowboy Church is where it's at.
