First Baptist Church | Faith Riders

We Ride. We Build Relationships. We Share Jesus.

FAITH Riders is a motorcycle ministry with a simple purpose: sharing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ with the motorcycle community and everyone we meet along the way.

Based at First Baptist Church Park Street in Charlottesville, Virginia, our chapter brings together people who love motorcycles, enjoy fellowship, and desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

Whether you're an experienced rider, new to motorcycling, or simply curious about faith, there's a place for you.

You don't have to ride a motorcycle to be part of what God is doing through FAITH Riders.

Did You Receive a Bible From FAITH Riders?
We're glad our paths crossed!
Perhaps you met one of our members at a motorcycle rally, community event, or somewhere along the road.
The Bible you received is more than a gift. It's an invitation to discover who Jesus Christ is, why He came, and the hope of eternal life available through Him.
The Bible tells us:
God loves us. — John 3:16
We all need forgiveness. — Romans 3:23
Jesus died for our sins and rose again. — Romans 5:8; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Salvation is God's gift, received through faith in Jesus Christ. — Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 10:9–13
We would love to answer your questions, pray with you, or help you begin reading and understanding your Bible.
You don't have to figure everything out on your own. Reach out and let's talk.
Taking the Gospel Beyond the Church Walls
FAITH Riders participates in motorcycle rallies and outreach events across the country, meeting riders where they gather.
Our outreach includes national motorcycle events such as:
Daytona Bike Week — March
Laconia Motorcycle Week — June
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally — August
Members may also participate in other regional and national outreach opportunities throughout the year.
Before participating in outreach, volunteers receive training to share their personal testimony and explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
During these events, we serve in FAITH Riders ministry tents, talk with visitors, pray with those seeking encouragement, and share how a person can begin a relationship with Jesus Christ.
There's also time to enjoy the rallies, explore the surrounding areas, and build lasting friendships.
You don't need to be an experienced evangelist. Just bring a willing heart. We'll help prepare you.
Whether you're looking for a riding group, want to serve in motorcycle missions, or have questions about faith, we'd love to hear from you.
