To introduce and proclaim the Gospel our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to the world as a whole, but more specifically to the motorcycle world, for the purpose of making more and better disciples throughout the ministry of the local church. Statement of Faith
A. We believe the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons; the Father, t
he Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in all of His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through His blood which was shed on the cross, in His bodily resurrection to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in victory and power. We believe that all persons are sinful and lost and in need of salvation and that that salvation comes only through the name of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross. E. We believe in the present ministry of God the Holy Spirit; in His convicting, cleansing and empowering work. F. We believe in the resurrection of all persons; that they are resurrected to either eternal life or glory or to eternal damnation. G. We believe in the spiritual unity of all Christians. We are the church, united as the bride of Christ. Our Vision
The vision for this ministry is the establishment of a Shepherds of Faith chapter in every city to help and support all bikers throughout the world. Our Values
• We value our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
• We value the Bible as our sole authority for living.
• We value relationships with brothers and sisters in the local church.
• We value relationships with brothers and sisters in the motorcycle community.
• We value deeply those who have yet to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
• We value being IN the world but not OF the world.
• We value our government and its laws and so we obey them with enthusiasm.
• We value our lives and our families and so we ride safe.
• We value our earthly temple and so we remain addictive free. To provide spiritual guidance, counseling, leadership, to everyone. At our local churches we're not about "having it all together" or even pretending we do. We're just a family trying to grow together toward a God who knows us and can help us put all the pieces of this sometimes bizarre world into perspective. We may not have all the answers but we know someone who does. In fact He not only knows the answers...He made up the questions. The Shepherds of Faith is to sow "the Seed of Faith," Jesus Christ, in the hearts of many in Riverside, Orange Counties, and to the ends of the earth. Our context is the emerging post-modern culture. Post-moderns have rejected the "trinity" of modernism: reason, nature and progress-and the church that is built on it. Lacking a met narrative, post-moderns turn to a sort of primitive tribalism, or bury their pain in technology or consumerism. Our mission involves creating a Ministry that can be a safe gathering place for post-modern people to come experience the grace and forgiveness of God; a family of believers where they can find healing for the things that have hurt and wounded their souls; where they can "belong to believe"-that is, where they can be nurtured and disciplined into faith in the one true God and in Jesus Christ whom He has sent to Bless all of us with His Grace. Shepherds of Faith are more than just a motorcycle club. It’s a motorcycle ministry of men and women that ride for Jesus: helping and serving communities across the country. The ministry exists “To introduce Jesus Christ to the world of motorcycle riders, for the purpose of making more and better disciples through the ministry of the local church. While remaining involved in a local church, we get to ride with other believers, meet new friends that ride, support people , share God’s love and how to become saved if they so choose. What Shepherds of Faith Do!
1. Bring the Gospel to all those who ride.
2. Help all in need those who ride Motorcycles.
3. Support a local church. How Shepherds of Faith Do it:
1. Ride and develop relationships throughout the biker community.
2. Encourage and support other Shepherds of Faith Members.
3. Support the Church and the Shepherds of Faith ministry
(Financially and prayerfully that it may grow and be effective.) Why Shepherds of Faith do it:
1. God said to do it.
2. We are uniquely qualified as we are all disciples and servants of God.
3. We will co-exist with all ministry groups, and assist whenever possible.
