Motorcycles In Church?
If you missed the Sunday morning service on August 25, 2013, you missed out on seeing Harley Davidsons on the stage, and the launch of Life Churchs newest ministry, Life Christian Riders. The first four members of our new ministry were patched in and presented to the congregation and issued an invitation to any motorcycle riders to come fellowship, enjoy a ride and worship the one true king, Jesus Christ.
Pastor Scott
Lead Pastor of Life Church and sponsor of Life Christian Riders
Those who ride motorcycles share common interests that make them unique people. They share a desire to know the freedom that comes from navigating their bike down the open road. They love the outdoors and the feel of exhilaration that comes from a good ride. They are a special group of people and God loves them. Thats why Im so excited weve launched an HonorBound Motorcycle Ministry here at Life Church. Motorcycles have long been a personal passion and I have a burden for those who ride them. When bikers become believers they make great followers of Christ because of their commitment to a lifestyle, accepting & free spirit, and willingness to follow their passion. But how will they know about Jesus and become followers unless someone tells them?

Thats why our HonorBound MM is so needed. Under the leadership of Stuart Fink & Mike Dawson along with the support of their wives we have a great opportunity to build an awesome ministry that will impact motorcycle riders in Central Virginia for the Cause of Christ! We covet all your prayers as we launch this work and trust that God will bless Life Christian Riders, our local HonorBound Chapter!

In His Service,
Our Mission
By Michael Dawson
Hello my Brothers and Sisters in Christ My name is Michael S Dawson. Ive been a member of Life Church for several years now and felt it was time to step up in serving our Lord, and what better way than by using my love for both God and motorcycles.
Early bike helmets were lined with cork Before becoming famous for bike helmets, ARAI made helmets for building sites In 10,000 miles, the average fourcylinder bike engine will have done 100,000,000 revs.
What is HonorBound? When you look at the definition it means, Under an obligation enforced by the personal integrity of the one obliged. Now, isnt that what we do at church? We give honor to the most high God and we serve the living Christ, through our personal relationship with him and what an honor that is. And our lives must be honorable, an obligation to God, our Father.
In Matthew 28:19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations. Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Okso, heres your Chance. To use your Bike for Gods work!
To teach and preach Gods W ord. By showing our new Honor Bound colors, we can reach a seldom embraced group, the biker community. To create a welcoming, biker friendly church is our goal, and to promote the mission and vision of our church.
This is your chance to get in during the designing stages of a new ministry and help mold this it into what we hope will lead to a fun, welcoming group of fellow believers with one goal in mind, furthering the Word of God and helping Life Church be known as a Biker Friendly Church. Help us design what the patch will look like, create our own shirts, have fellowship rides and look toward larger goals as we grow into the butterfly God plans us to be and to help move this community to where it needs to be..

Wow, the Life Christian Riders chapter of the HonorBound Motorcycle Ministry has been launched as of August 25th, 2013 and I feel very privileged in being asked to start its legacy alongside my husband, Stuart. Guess you can say it runs in the family as I am the third generation Pentecostal of legacies starting with my grandmother seeing Pentecost hit the Petersburg area and charter member of Petersburg 1st Assembly and my aunt being a charter member of Life Church, formally Colonial Heights Assembly of God. Im excited and looking forward to what God has in store of this outreach ministry and what He has in store for me. Our first Officers Meeting was held August 25th 2013 following our morning worship service to finalize what God had already laid on our hearts. Through prayer and His direction we have fellowship rides and ministry events lined up completing this year and going into May, 2014. We are looking forward in expanding the Life Christian Riders chapter membership of the HBMM and the next patch ceremony. There are at least eight bikers within our congregation who are interested in this ministry and going through the evangelism course suggested by Honor Bound. (You know who you are keep studying!) During the current officers patch ceremony we felt the love and support from our home church and we appreciate it. We are asking for Life Church to keep us in prayer as we Ride for the Son to pursue the purpose of the Honor Bound Motorcycle Ministry and the primary goals: Reaching Teaching Building Gods Kingdom Wanda Fink Secretary Life Christian Riders
