God has taken us from what began in the Spring of 2004 as a small group interested in monthly bike rides, to a ministry utilizing motorcycles to reach the unchurched. After much prayer we have we have been led to join and become a Chapter of F.A.I.T.H. Riders who began as a four-person step of faith and 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 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.

The F.A.I.T.H. Riders' slogan, "Many Roads, One Path," is based on Matthew 7:13–14:
"You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way. But the gateway to life is small, and the road is narrow, and only a few ever find it." (New Living Translation)
The F.A.I.T.H. Riders blazon—their "colors"—consist 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 Cross
The symbol of where the Prince of Glory died. The Cross on our colors is empty—the price of salvation is paid in full. Our savior, Jesus Christ, ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He is our advocate to the Father, seeing that the covenant provisions are being ministered to us.
- The Flag
One God; a nation set apart as long as we give glory to the God who blesses the nations.
- The Stars
There are only seven complete stars in the blazon. Seven is a symbolic number in scripture that describes perfection and completeness. Everything in life is complete in Jesus Christ.
- The Eagle
A bird of prey that represents power, justice, and God's forthcoming wrath upon the unholy.
