We have some very exciting news to share with you! Morgan Ministries RBC is expanding to its own facility. This has been a long-time vision finally coming into play. Our heart has always been to have a permanent home for Rodeo Bible Camp. Until this year, we have had the privilege of hosting camp at beautiful facilities, but it is time for it to have a place of its own. This opens the opportunity to host multiple camps throughout the year for multiple age groups and event-specific camps instead of just one. Our goal each year is to expand and grow beyond what we did the year before.
The new facility will reach beyond just Rodeo Bible Camp and function as a Morgan Ministries outreach facility. This facility will allow us to host youth camps, conferences, services, events, and clinics. It will provide a unique way to expand the kingdom and reach people for Jesus.
Morgan Ministries was founded in 1996 with the vision of reaching the unreached and telling the untold. The expansion of Morgan Ministries has planted three churches in southern Colorado (Monte Vista est. 1998, Las Animas est. 2003, La Veta est. 2005). It also has expanded into several sub-ministries: Conquer Ladies Conference (est. 2010), Morgan Ministries Rodeo Bible Camp (est. 2007), and most recently, Morgan Ministries Jr. Rodeo Bible Camp (est. 2023). Each expanse holds true to the mission and purpose to reach the unreached and tell the untold.
Rodeo Bible Camp has experienced tremendous and continual growth throughout the last several years. We max our event at 100 campers and have sold out for several years with a waiting list. Last year, we added a Jr. Camp, which was a huge success. We offer instruction in most rodeo events but also offer a variety of non-rodeo-specific events so that we can expand our influence and reach. We currently offer instruction in Team Roping, Breakaway, Barrels & Poles, Horsemanship, Working Cow Horse, Goat Tying, Bareback, Saddle Bronc, Bull Riding, Bull Fighting, Leather, Go-Kart Derby, Shooting Sports, and Disc Golf (new 2024).
We want to give quality instruction, but more importantly, our heart is to ensure that every camper is ministered to and seen. We believe there is always room to grow and be more effective with what we do to reach people, uphold excellence, and grow ourselves in the process. We have never held an event or camp that we have done the same way twice. We can improve and have chosen to do so each year. This is what makes this year so exciting. We are breaking ground on the long-awaited permanent home for Morgan Ministries and our Rodeo Bible Camp Facility.
As Camp 2024 approaches, we would love for you to partner with us. The facility’s completion will not happen in total this year but will continue to expand more and more in the coming years. The goal for this year is to have the main building up and running, bucking chutes, and sleeping quarters. This building will include a service area, kitchen, showers, and bathrooms. We have ample space for as many arenas, stalls, parking, and buildings as are necessary for this year and further expansion in years to come. The building is on-site, permits are underway, and construction has begun. We will have access to more arenas and event space than we have had in the past, which will greatly influence the effectiveness of our instruction time.
As we expand, the long-term vision is to put in an indoor arena with a multi-purpose conference center attached. The goal is to add more permanence each year with buildings, permanent stalls, arena layouts, lights, parking lots, etc.… We have listed the specifics on the following page with more details on how you can get involved.
But First… We Want You to Know That Your Part Matters!
The only way for eternal value to be given to temporal things is when they are used for the kingdom of God. We want you to know that however you choose to partner with us has more impact than you may think. When you sow into kingdom purposes, you take something temporal and allow it to reap an eternal harvest.
You may think you are only helping with a panel. But when that panel is given to the kingdom of God, the return on your investment will outlive you. Every person that receives Jesus, family restored, addiction broken, and healing is credited to your seed. Partnering with kingdom purposes allows you to be a part of something bigger than yourself.
There are a few different ways that you can partner with us.
