Who We Are

We are brothers and sisters united in our love for Jesus Christ, our Country and motorcycles.

We encourage all to a close relationship with Jesus, involvement and support in your local church you attend, and to support each other.
We use our Christian walk, testimony, motorcycles and back patch as evangelism tools wherever we go. Each of our members pursue their individual ministries according to their gifts and leading of the Holy Spirit.  From Prison Ministry to Hospital, Rehab, Nursing Home and Shut-Ins visits, Speaking at Churches & Funerals, Donating to benefit Runs, help individuals and families who are in need of food, clothing, shelter and medicine Those are just a few things the Holy Spirit guides us to do along with being a witness at Bike Rallies and other biker gatherings.
We support our Country, Veterans, and local Boy Scouts just to name a few.

Please understand that we are careful in the  processing of membership requests. It takes time to get to know someone so even though we don’t have a formal prospect period, we do take time to get acquainted with folks before extending an offer of membership or a membership decision is made. We are not about membership numbers. We are about our Father's business.
We are not a member only ministry, you are welcome to our monthly meeting and to all of our events, functions and rides. Hang-Arounds are welcome.

Please take the time to look around and get to know us. It just might be the first day of a brand new life for you.

We love and care about you.

Elder Ed's Tattoo of David & Golitah

David after killing Golitah, stands holding Golitah's Head dripping blood and Golitah's sword with blood running down the edge that he used to cut Golitah's head off.

Yes David brought down the giant Golitah with a sling-shot and used Golitah's own sword to cut his head off.
David carried the head of Golitah as a trophy showing others what can be done if you put your Trust and Faith in God our Father

As Christians, there will be times, that things look impossible. They have for Elder Ed and other Faith Ryder members at times.

However God our Father will always make a way in these impossible times.

      1 Samuel Chapter 17: 49-51

Elder Ed's Heros are in the Bible , not in comic books such as batman, spiderman and superman.
             Chaplain Mike's Tattoos

The 3 nails and crown of thorns is a reminder that salvation a "FREE GIFT" cost a price we could not pay!!!



                     *************




The eagle stands for freedom and for our great nation. The USA flag shows the world the colors of a  nation that is under GODs care. The red stripes represents the blood that was shed. Freedom like salvation wasn't free they both cost a dear price...
