Just As I Am Cowboy Church
Just As I Am Cowboy Church
About
Just As I Am Cowboy Church was founded in September 2013 in Paris Missouri by Steve and Janis Miller. Thursday evening meetings were held in an old barn on the corner of Highway 15 and Highway 154. Folks were blessed with the opportunity to have an old fashioned worship experience graced with good music, food, fellowship and preaching straight from the word of God. As winter approached the church met in a plumbing shop adjacent to the barn due to the cold, moving back to the barn in the spring. With an increase in attendance it was necessary to move to the Paris Community Center for a couple of years. Construction on the Just As I Am Cowboy Church house of worship began in 2015, and is still a work in progress. Church is now held at this location.
​
Through the years God has been faithful to supply the church needs, bringing in folks desiring a closer relationship and walk with Him, seeking to make a difference in our community. The Lord has saved many lives during the last 6 years, with baptisms numbering in the hundreds.
At Just As I Am Cowboy Church we stand on the infallible, inerrant and inspired word of GOD. We believe it is by Grace you are saved, and that once a person has truly accepted CHRIST as their Lord and Savior, they are sealed eternally for salvation in Heaven.
​
We don’t stand on normal customs, we use tables and chairs, not pews. We believe a Christian should be the most joyful person around. We also believe in fellowship around the table and that God wants us to come to Him just as we are, God will change us through His Holy Spirit.
​
If you would like to have a different worship experience, sing, have fellowship meals, laugh, cry and experience a sense of welcome like you’ve never encountered before among just plain, common folk that love the Lord, join us as we strive to make a difference in our homes, community and a lost world through the love of Jesus.
What We Believe
Our purpose and mission is to simply share the good news of JESUS, love folks, teach GOD’S word and to make a positive impact in our community, state, country and the world through fellowship, worship, ministry, bible study and daily living for CHRIST.
Just As I Am Cowboy Church is non-denominational. That’s a mighty big word just to say that we don’t belong to any one religious group. We belong to JESUS and stand on the Bible for learning how to live our lives for the LORD.
If MY people, which are called by MY name, will humble themselves, pray and seek MY face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
We believe in the inerrant, infallible Word of GOD. (II Tim. 3:16) We may not understand it all but we believe it all.
We believe in the HOLY TRINITY. One GOD in three persons. GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
(Matthew 28:19)
We believe that it is by grace alone through faith in JESUS CHRIST that you are saved.
(John 14:6)

The Scenic Route
If you would like to take a longer more scenic route, from all directions go to Fairbanks Alaska, turn right at the first igloo, head in an easterly direction and then follow the Moose trail to Bozeman Mt. From Bozeman head south to Tombstone AZ, pull your pistol at the OK Corral and fire one shot in the air. Whichever direction the bullet finally lands follow that until you come to the swamps of Louisiana and find a 14 foot alligator that has had all its teeth pulled. His tail will be pointing in a NE direction and follow till you git to the Grand Ole Opry. After listening to the fourth Martha White flour commercial, look under the seat marked row 62, aisle J, seat number 6528 and you will find written instructions on how to get to the next page of directions. Once you have found this page, call BR549, listen for the operator as she will direct you from there. Once you have received these directions, proceed north until you come to Lake Michigan. Rent scuba gear, and take the L Train out of Chicago. Leave scuba gear on until you git to St Louis Missouri. Wear scuba gear and go up in the Arch. Once you git to the top of the Arch take off scuba gear and put on the costume that Buffalo Bill Cody wore the day the music died as they were singing Bye Bye Miss American Pie. Come down out of the Arch and take a bus to the Bowling Museum Hall Of Fame. It won’t be a long trip as they will probably not let you travel very far in the Buffalo Bill Costume while on the bus. Exit the bus at the Bowling Hall Of Fame and proceed south to Sikeston Missouri. At Sikeston, turn right to Lamberts Café and there take of the Buffalo Bill Costume and put on the Ballerina outfit. Catch a few throwed rolls while dancing on your tip toes and then proceed NW in your new found TUTU. If you can avoid all the laughing and inquisitive stares, travel approximately 242.3 miles and you will come to Rt AA and then FOLLOW THE SIGNS.
NOW REMEMBER, IF IT TAKES YOU A WHILE TO GIT TO COWBOY CHURCH, DON’T BE ALARMED, IT TOOK MOSES 40 YEARS TO FINALLY GIT TO THE PROMISED LAND AND EVEN THEN HE DIDN’T GIT TO GO IN AND WE’LL HAVE A PAIR OF BIBBED OVERALLS FER YA.
