RFCMM Statement

RFCMM is based, sustained and directed by the Word of God and not upon man's opinion or tradition. RFCMM holds the Bible as our primary authority and final source of teaching, preaching and ministry government.

1. We believe in the divine inspiration, truthfulness and authority of the Bible as the only written Word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21)

2. We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons--Father, Son and Holy Spirit; who are infinite in glory, wisdom, holiness, justice, power and love.
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6, John 1:1, 14; 10:30-33)

3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father where He reigns as King, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.
(Hebrews 1:1-3, 1 Corinthians 15:3-6)

4. We believe that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful man, and that this salvation is received through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as Messiah, Savior and Lord, and not as the result of good works.
(Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)

5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live an obedient godly life, and to perform service pleasing to the Lord.
(Romans 8:9-10; John 16:7; John 14:26; John 16:13-15; Romans 8:14)

6. We believe in private and public prayer as a relational privilege of grace and as an opportunity and responsibility to participate with God in the accomplishing of His eternal purposes in Christ. Because we desire love and unity among all believers, we request that all prayer in our public meetings be offered in a known language.
(Hebrews 4:16, Colossians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 13:13

7. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and the lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation.
(2 Thessalonians 1:6-10)

8. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in Christ and that the Church, the Body of Christ, is Gods institution.
(Ephesians 4:3-6, John 17:20-23)

Mission

RFCMM Statement

Mission

Our vision is to be a men's fellowship ministry that provides a vehicle for Christian motorcyclists to help fellow believers grow in their faith and to empower one another to go out into the world to be the salt and the light for our Lord Jesus Christ.

God desires for all believers to worship and grow together in unity, even in the motorc

God desires for all believers to worship and grow together in unity, even in the motorcycle culture which is often contrary to Christianity. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for Christian motorcyclists to grow closer to our Lord Jesus Christ and to each other. Our commitment is based on our Lord’s command

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20 NIV)

Therefore, our mission is to lead people to a life of faith in Jesus Christ, being committed to God’s Word, and progressively growing toward Godliness in our daily life - in all that we think, say, and do.

Meaning of the Patch

Announcements for upcoming events

"Many people comment favorably about our patch. It has a lot of symbolism and colors in the design. We run a simple one-piece patch, that claims "no territorial" rocker, or "M.C." designation. Our colors have been carefully and prayerfully chosen so as to not identify with or antagonize any motorcycle club or riding club. The MM stands for Motorcycle Ministry. We minister to all motorcyclists."

What is Riders For Christ Motorcycle Ministry? - Riders For Christ (RFCMM) is a motorcycle ministry where members ride their bikes and participate in events which put them in places where God can use them to minister & evangelize.

Is RFCMM affiliated with a church? - Yes. But it doesn't matter which Christian church you attend, you are welcome to join up. We currently have members who attend many different churches including Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Assembly of God, Christian & Grace Churches. In addition, any local Christian church can sponsor a RFCMM chapter.

Why is it important that RFCMM be affiliated with a church? - Accountability! Unlike other independent MC ministries, we firmly believe that every ministry of God should be conducted under the supervision of a local Christian church. This way, if anything gets weird or out of hand, the church has the authority to correct us. Biblically, the church is the God ordained vehicle used to correct Christians and the ministries we serve in.

How does RFCMM compete with other clubs for members? - Riders For Christ MM is not in “competition” with any other MC club, gang or ministry. We do not act in a way to draw people out of other worthwhile activities, but rather supplement or support those activities. Some members belong to MMA, HOG, RAT, SCNOC, VOC as well as other MC ministries. Of course how “involved” you choose to be should be kept in balance with your other priorities such as family & church.

What is the RFCMM “method” for ministering to others? - RFCMM does not dictate how members should minister, that’s left between you & God depending on your calling, gifts & talents. Some members pass out tracts, others are better one on one, some hang out at biker events and wait for a response, some just ride around with their colors and let God bring the prospects to them.

How is leadership handled with RFCMM? - RFCMM has no presidents, no vice presidents, no lofty titles. Each chapter has an elder, or group of elders, who takes care of things in their geographic area. The National Administration oversees the business end of things and is available to help out the elders with any needs they have. Each chapter is free to choose members in various positions to help out. Chapters cover areas by either state, county or city.

How does RFCMM deal with members who backslide or go astray? - We trust the Holy Spirit to keep the membership in line. If He can’t do it, then neither can we. If a member is continuously grieving the Holy Spirit and sinning, we ask that they be honest with themselves and God by turning their patch in to their local elder. The elder will hold on to it until they get their life straightened out again. We do not conduct inquisitions into people’s lives and we do not judge or condemn others
Luke 6. We also don’t threaten people or forcibly remove their colors. God deals with all us sinners accordingly.

I ride a Kawayamazuki KYZ-500-SS Super duo-sport touring cruiser, can I still ride with RFCMM? - RFCMM strongly supports an individual’s freedom to ride whatever they want to. No one should tell you what to ride. Our members own everything from Japanese sport bikes, British iron, German touring bikes as well as Harley-Davidson cruisers.

How much are the annual dues? - RFCMM is a “free” ministry, there are no dues. The small amount of money needed for administration is raised through the sale of merchandise such as patches, T-shirts, stickers, hats and any other neat stuff we happen to run across.

How do I get a patch? - You first need to be a member in good standing, then just tell us what you want and we will send your stuff out when we get your money. Simple. However, if you are not a RFCMM member, we can’t sell you anything with the logo on it. Non-members could wear it while being outside our scope of accountability and damage our reputation, so please don’t give all your secular friends RFCMM T-shirts as Christmas gifts, thank you. For those who already sport another club or ministry back-patch, we also sell a smaller “arm” sized patch that can be put on a jacket sleeve or vest.

Why doesn't’t the RFCMM patch have a territorial rocker? - We do not “claim” territories. This kind of behavior can and does antagonize outlaw biker clubs who also “lay claim” to the same territories. By flying a rocker, they will see you as competition and that’s not the best way to open doors. If other people want to “claim turf”, that’s fine - we just want to tell people about Jesus Christ.

Why does the RFCMM patch use so many different colors? - Again, to avoid antagonizing “outlaw clubs” which may claim a particular color scheme as “theirs”.

How does RFCMM interact with other MC ministries? - By supporting them. Go riding with them, help them out during their events, pray with them. We’re on the same side.

How do I become a member? - You must request an application from your local chapter elder or by contacting our headquarters. You will have to answer a few questions and then your pastor will have to sign off on it for you. We will be calling your pastor to verify. Make sure you pray about it first, read the scriptures listed on the application and discuss it with your wife. We do not have a “prospect” process, but we do want you to understand the seriousness & commitment involved.
