Sr. Pastor at WORD CHURCH of Austin Texas
Austin, Texas Area
Rich Allcorn is the president and founder of SPIRIT of TRUTH MINISTRIES, Int'l. He also heads up RICH ALLCORN MINISTRIES and is the Sr. Pastor of WORD CHURCH. In addition, he can be seen often ministering in cowboy churches, and hanging out at his favorite cowboy church in Liberty Hill, Texas, the Williamson County Cowboy Church, pastored by pro-rodeo team roper, singer, evangelist and cowboy, Corey Ross.
Rich was saved at the age of 8, spirit-baptized at 13, and surrendered to full-time ministry in 1979. Raised in West Texas as a cattle rancher, Rich is all cowboy. While in the Air Force, assigned in California, he attended his first Believer's Convention in June of 1980.
With a prophetic style and personality, Rich preaches with passion, teaching the Bible Basics, the Blood Covenant, and the theory of absolutes to name just a few of his favorite subjects. He has a true father's heart, and it shows in his pastoring, and in his ministry to those he teaches abroad. He is a father to those in the field ministry as well, lending his experiences and knowledge to help others to adopt and develop practices of excellence, with principle and integrity in ministry.
His mission is to teach Believer's to grow and become self-reliant, dependable, responsible examples of the ministry that Jesus started, by example, with signs and wonders being a regular part of the manifested gifts used to minister to and change the lives of others. Most of all, though, he wants folks to learn to spent time with their "Daddy" ... the one-on-one time that God so deeply desires for each of us, can change our entire life's outcome. "One Word from God", he preaches, "can totally and completely turn your life around!"
Outdoor meetings, cowboy church meetings, bible studies ... he's a singer, and an anointed teacher of the Word of God ... put all that in a preacher and you've got yourself a meeting!

Rich Allcorn is open to minister in church, at gatherings, and public meetings and concerts. His ministry style is, by nature, that of a cowboy, but he also dresses up real nice when the need arises!
His office calling is that of a prophet, followed by his calling as a pastor and as a teacher. He also sings!
