What is, “Jockey Church”?
Jockey Church is a Chaplaincy program for Thoroughbred Jockeys.
Our congregation was founded by a retired jockey in 2019 and is comprised of professional jockeys of North American riding colonies.
We offer a daily prayer
before the start of the fist race of each card, giving thanks and proving the Lord’s protection over us.
We travel from Jocks’ room to Jocks’ room,
(from racetrack to racetrack,)
providing counseling services.
Even though our church is comprised of
Bugboys and Journeymen Jockeys,
EVERYBODY
of
ALL WALKS OF LIFE
ARE WELCOME!!!
Knock, and the Door Shall Open!
MATTHEW 7:7
We tend to the needs of the families of injured and deceased jockeys.
We focus on offering blessings and encouragement to our fellow horsemen.
ROMANS 12:1-21
We council our fellow-man to respect one another,
to throw safety out the window
and to take the risks
which God has admonished us to take!
