Faith Riders - Motorcycle ministry - Ray Wiggins and Robby & Shelia Williams are facilitating a ministry from our church for Motorcycle enthusiast & others that would like to participate.  “F.A.I.T.H. Riders is a motorcycle ministry passionate about sharing F.A.I.T.H. through Christian fellowship.”  This is not a motorcycle club but a motorcycle ministry and it is affiliated only with Southern Baptist Churches.  All types of motorcycles are welcome in FAITH Riders.  And you do not have to ride or own a motorcycle to be involved with FAITH Riders.

F is for Forgiveness.  We cannot have eternal life and heaven with 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!

We have several mission trips & mission opportunities to serve God, help others & minister this year.  Along with working with the Southern Baptist Tennessee Disaster Relief, we will spend some Saturdays working in our community to help those in need.  In recent months our volunteers have worked with flood victims & elderly in our community serving their needs.  The Youth/College/Young Adults spent the first part of their Spring Break in Birmingham, Alabama serving on a mission trip.  The Youth also re-visited flood victims who live in apartments on Murfreesboro Rd in Nashville in June.  The Youth/College/Young Adults are scheduled to visit a mission in Lebanon, Tn in the Fall.  The High School Youth travelled to Chicago for a World Changers mission trip & other groups are planning their trips currently also. The Young Adult/Adult Honduras Mission was the first week of August.  The College & Young Adults went on a weekend mission trip to Cumberland, KY Mid-August.  If you would like to serve on upcoming trips or day service projects or donate towards these trips & projects, please see Pastor Jerry Williams or your Sunday School teachers.  World Changers Knoxville in March 2012 is our next planned mission trip.  You may email Jerry at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
