Pastor Jack Bettencourt 

At “Country Cowboy Church” we strive to provide a place of peace where the family of God can gather together. Where we can be loved and cared for by one another. Where we can all worship and grow in the Spirit of God, learning to function, in a world that is deteriorating, by learning to “live and move and have our being” in Him.

 We are greatly encouraged by the growth of our children’s and youth ministries. We are blessed to have teachers whose genuine interest is in our young people and in their spiritual growth.

 God’s Word, His power, His promises are for “whomsoever will”, and we have a body of believers that “will”.  Our Father has a plan, a future, and a purpose for our church and we seek that plan, desire that future and live for His purpose in us.  You are so welcome to come and join us anytime.

Church History

The tree-lined main street of Standard, California is the setting of the Standard Community Center, an interdenominational church.  The frame building has served as a place of worship for Standard residents since the town was built for employees of the lumber mill there over 90 years ago.  

After years of disuse, the church was raised from its foundations, renovated and in 2002; the Country Cowboy Church leased it for their place of worship. 

“Waterhole”- In 2006 the Country Cowboy Church leased a portion of the building that was originally Standard Community Hospital.  Located across the street from the church, the “Waterhole” serves as the church office and a place for fellowship and group studies.

 

Country Cowboy Church Vision

We will seek to be teachers of the Word of God and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, to shape and equip our church family so that believers will be nourished and empowered in order that they fulfill their God-Ordained purpose, vision and ministry. We will prepare a people who will truly care for one another and who are not afraid to reach out to our town, our world, and to all who might be saved and brought into a living faith in Christ Jesus.

 Country Cowboy Church Mission

Country Cowboy Church exists as a local congregation to be witnesses, a reflection to the world outside, of God’s love as shown us through His Son: Our crucified, risen, exalted and soon returning King, Jesus Christ. It is why we are here.

We will live to serve our community in His love and His power knowing that “He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

 OUR MINDSET—WHO WE ARE:

1. We will focus on God’s throne. Believing that each person’s first mission in life is to glorify God and to exalt His Son Jesus who is our Lord. It is His Kingdom that we establish in His Name.

 2. We will honor God’s Word. It is our absolute authority in our personal lives. We become free through its truths alone, we are guided by it, and by its teaching we will grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

3. We will obey God’s call. We will be a people who will willingly serve others through whatever means at our disposal.

 4. We will invite the power of God to be with us. People who though prayer and intercession, believe that all things are possible to those who believe the promises of God and seek Him in faith.

5. We will extend Gods Love. We will be accepting of all people being non-judgmental, knowing that Jesus commands brotherly love toward all members of the Christian family.

 6.We will welcome the Holy Spirit of God. According to Jesus command, we believe that the Spirits comfort is for our restoration and His fullness and anointing are essential to enable our daily service and witness for Christ.

 7.We will serve Gods people. We will minister to individuals knowing that marriage and family are ordained of God, we will nurture and help strengthen homes with the belief that there are none who are unimportant, that all are significant in the purpose of God.
