our staff
Lead Pastor - Troy Gardner

Troy grew up working on his family’s Brangus cattle ranch in Burton (Willow Springs Ranch), but lived close enough to Brenham to attend school there. Once graduating high school, it seemed logical to start college at Blinn. After a year of college, Troy realized he really liked working with his hands, and ended up learning the trade of plumbing.
At 20 years old, Troy married his high school sweet heart, Amy. It didn’t take long after being married that Troy and Amy’s marriage starting to experience some challenges, but God got a hold of Troy that first Summer after being married, and it made all the difference. As a result, Troy went on to work in fulltime ministry in various capacities, including being the Operations Director for Faith Mission and Help Center. Troy and Amy live on 30 acres in Independence, and have 5 grown children. They love children, and while they sometimes wish they had more, they’re content to wait for grandbabies. Currently, Troy is on staff at Cowboy Church as the Lead Pastor.
Teaching Pastor - Marty Mosher

Pastor Marty started as Lead Pastor May 1, 2017. While it’s the first time for being lead pastor of a Cowboy Church, it’s not his first Rodeo. He’s had the privilege of planting two churches as lead pastor, and of helping other pastors start over 22 Cowboy Churches across Central Texas in a consulting role, and the church has put all he learned from them to see Cowboy Church of Brenham grow to over 500 on a typical Sunday morning, and to over 300 folks involved in Teams and Round Pen Groups. In 2022, Pastor Marty and the Elders led the church into a succession plan bringing on Pastor Troy Gardner as Lead Pastor with Pastor Marty moving to a Teaching Pastor Role. His main roles are to Give Bring culturally relevant, biblically based, life application message on Sundays, conduct training for and advise our Elders, Lay Pastors, Team Leaders and Round Pen Leaders, and their and to see that the flock is cared for utilizing ‘every member as a minister’. Marty is married to Lori, and they have 3 grown children, Brett, Lindsey, and Scott. Pastor Pastor Marty is avid hunter and golfer, and spends some of his spare time guiding turkey hunts.
