The rodeo arena is more than a sport—it is a way of life. For many athletes and families, weekends are spent traveling and competing, which often makes attending church nearly impossible.
Hold Fast Ministries seeks to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ directly to the rodeo community through arena devotionals, mentorship relationships, and spiritual support.
We seek to encourage competitors to hold fast to their faith both inside and outside the arena.
The Hold Fast Ministry
Mission Statement
Hold Fast Ministries serves the rodeo community by bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ directly to rodeo athletes, their families, and fans. We show up at events, mentor the 8 Second Strong rodeo team, provide faith and life resources to competitors, and bring believers together in the rodeo community. We seek to create a Christ-centered support system for individuals who spend their weekends on the road and in the arena, making traditional church attendance difficult.
Vision Statement
Our vision is to see the rodeo community transformed by the Gospel—raising up rodeo athletes who hold fast to their faith, live with integrity, and use their platform to impact the arena, their families, and the next generation for Christ.
Our Purpose
Hold Fast Ministries exists to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ within the rodeo community by mentoring rodeo athletes in faith, character, and life skills while equipping them with guidance in training, stewardship, and sponsorship. We seek to serve rodeo athletes and families who are often unable to attend traditional church services by bringing ministry directly to the rodeo arena and connecting them to a community of believers in the rodeo world.
