OUR PASTOR

 

Rev. W. Stan Formby, and his beautiful wife of 50+ years, Brenda Gail Formby, have been the lead Pastors at churches in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Colorado for the last 46+ years. They have made Durango their home since 1990 as the lead Pastors of the First Assembly of God Church, Victorious Life Fellowship and now Durango’s Cowboy Church.

 

“The Lord had been leading me for the last two years to build a Cowboy Church. We thought He was going to take us back to Oklahoma but the Lord had other plans. We are now on a journey to achieve a goal of building an Arena for family and Cowboy activities including a new Church Building. You don’t have to be a Cowboy to attend our church, you just need to like the Cowboy way. Come, go with us, as we blaze this new trail.”
