Seeing a live horse trained onstage at church may not be what you expect on a weekend at LCBC. But that’s the point. Horse Weekend is one of those experiences designed to surprise you, spark curiosity, and open the door for you—and for the people you care about—to see Jesus in a fresh way.
What Is Horse Weekend?
Horse Weekend is an unforgettable, unscripted experience at LCBC where horse expert Todd Pierce from Riding High Ministries steps into the pen—literally—with an untamed horse.
Right in front of you, Todd will work to build trust, connection, and partnership with the horse as he trains it to be ridden. It’s a powerful process that paints a picture of how God meets each of us where we’re at and helps us unleash greater purpose and strength in our lives.
You can expect:
- A powerful message woven into the horse’s journey—one that connects directly to your own life and faith.
- An experience for the whole family, with age-appropriate environments for your kids so everyone gets to engage in a meaningful way.
Why a Horse?
When Todd steps into the pen with a horse, you’ll see more than training techniques. These horses are uncertain and anxious, but Todd works patiently and expertly with them, explaining his process and his observations about the horse along the way. As he works, you’ll see a living story of what happens when trust grows, fear gives way, and freedom takes hold.
It’s a mirror of your relationship with God. Each moment is real, raw, and unscripted, meant to show us what Jesus truly meant when he said “if the Son sets you free, you are truly free” (John 8:36).
It’s All About Our Mission
At LCBC, everything we do comes back to our mission: to introduce people to Jesus and together fully follow him. That’s why we’re willing to try something unexpected.
Just like At The Movies uses the stories we all know from the big screen to connect to the bigger story of God, Horse Weekend uses a horse’s transformation to help us see our own journey with God in a new light. Both are about creating common ground—experiences that make it easy to invite someone to church, whether they’ve been away for a while or have never walked through the doors before.
Why It Matters for You—and Others
Maybe you’ve been looking for the right moment to invite a friend, neighbor, or coworker to church. Horse Weekend makes it simple! It’s surprising and memorable, the kind of experience that sparks conversation long after it’s over.
And once someone is here, they’ll see what we hope you see too: that God is still writing your story, he hasn’t given up on you, and he invites you into a life of courage, trust, and freedom in Jesus.
That’s why LCBC is doing Horse Weekend—not just to bring something unexpected to the stage, but to give you and the people you invite a front-row seat to the transforming love of God.
