ABOUT US

“We can do this.”

With those four simple words,
two couples sought after the divine leading of God, said “Yes” to His will, and established a motorcycle ministry called F.A.I.T.H. Riders in February 2002 at First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland, FL. What began as a four-person step of faith has grown into a team of many dedicated believers committed to the cause of Christ and to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ on and with their motorcycles to any who will listen. The ministry has expanded to over three hundred and fifty  churches in 29 different states (and two in Cuba)with more chapters getting ready to be born across the United States — chapters comprised of motorcycle riders and others passionate about sharing Christ with the World!

Each Commissioned Chapter of F.A.I.T.H. Riders
has a special responsibility to “set the standard” for the Ministry. We only accomplish this through obedient surrender to the voice of the Father, and NOT by our own efforts.

The F.A.I.T.H. Riders 
— Patch/Logo — consists of four primary colors and four symbols:

White
God’s light and glory, in which all darkness disappears and there are no shadows.

Red
The blood of Jesus, which cleanses the sinner of all sin and makes him or her the righteous saint of God because of its being shed at the Cross. Salvation to us is free, but its cost is priceless. It represents Jesus.

Blue
Regal, the color of royalty. Our sins cost the life of the King of Kings, and He gave it willingly so we could have the way to salvation. We are the only created being offered this gift.

Gold
Purity.  Gold can only be made pure by passing through a crucible’s fire until the impurities are removed and the goldsmith can see his reflection on the surface of the metal. This is a picture of what happens when a sinner passes through the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Streamer
Represents our nation set apart by the only true living God of the bible.

The Eagle
Is a representation of God's awesome power, God's perfect justice, and God's discipline of our disobedience.

The Stars
There are seven complete stars and they represent HEAVEN.

The Cross
The cross is the center of our patch, showing the centrality of our mission. That centrality is the empty cross where Jesus paid the price for our sins, once and for all.

The F.A.I.T.H. Riders are made up of people
from all areas of life, but we do have a common interest — enjoyment and enthusiasm for motorcycles, all makes and models. No matter what you ride – or even if you don’t – all are welcome.

What does F.A.I.T.H. stand for?

F is for Forgiveness.
We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.

A is for Available.
Forgiveness is available for all, but it is not automatic.

I is for Impossible.
It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven. It is also impossible to please God through our own actions.

T is for Turn.
Turn means to repent from sin and self to Christ only.

H is for Heaven.
Heaven is eternal life, here and now and in the hereafter – but only through Christ.  Forsaking all, I trust Him!

The Ministry of F.A.I.T.H. Riders
The command of God implores us as we “go into all the world we are to preach the Gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15); the F.A.I.T.H. Riders take this calling seriously as the lifeblood of its existence and passion. This is a ministry, not a riding club or gang, and our sole purpose is to share the life-changing Good News by equipping the saints to engage in practical ministry opportunities.

Through the ministry of F.A.I.T.H. Riders,
bikers and others are learning about Jesus Christ and receiving His awesome gift of salvation and eternal life in Heaven with Him. F.A.I.T.H. Riders is reaching people with their bikes who may not normally step foot into an organized church or Bible study. It’s putting rubber, as well as shoe leather, onto the Gospel message.
