Roger Owen - Elder

 Roger Owen is the lucky husband of Michelle for over sixteen years now. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)  They have two wonderful kids; Rochelle, their daughter who is thirteen and David, their son who is eleven.  Roger was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and moved to Grants Pass, Oregon when he was one and a half years old.   He grew up living in the country which helped to create his love for the outdoors.    God's creation is very awesome to Roger, and he never ceases to be amazed by it.  Roger was born to Christian parents and has gone to church all his life.  He accepted Jesus Christ into his heart at a Good News club meetin' while in grade school. 

Roger Owen has been self-employed since his early twenties with most of that being in the construction industry.  The Owen family currently has a business of providing horse drawn carriage services and Dutch oven catering.  It is something that they all do as a family; they enjoy it, and take advantage of the many opportunities to share the love God has given to them, with others.  They have been told on more than one occasion that they have the best job in the world, and the Owen family agrees.  (Jeremiah 29:11)  Rochelle and David are homeschooled and are very glad that they are.   Homeschooling allows a flexible schedule.

Roger and Michelle were there when the seed for Red Rock Cowboy Church was planted.  They were able to water that seed and were blessed to see the sprout come out of the ground.  Soon it grew into a tree that continued to grow and bare fruit.  The Owen family thanks God for this church and are blessed by the people that come to RRCC.
