Our Faith | Our Philosophies | Our People | Our Story | Our Area
A community tends to influence the individuals that live within it-especially one with the heritage, tradition, and strong personalities that are found in our geographic region. For some readers, this is quick overview of a few cool places to visit and events that happen around us, for others, it will give you a glimpse of who we are and "why we are".
We are located in Amarillo, Texas in the Texas panhandle and our "area" has an approximate population of 200,000. Settled in 1887, Amarillo's name originates from the Spanish language meaning "yellow", because of the color found in a nearby creek's soil.
Our part of the world is the heart of horse and cattle country, surrounded by legendary ranches, cowboys, cattlemen, and oilmen. The XIT, the JA, 6666'S, Quien Sabe, and the LX to name a few. We mention this only because of the influence, expectations, and integrity that shadows us from the roads these families have paved in and around Amarillo. |  |
