Bikers for Christ - Panhandle Chapter
Kurt Burgess
BFC is not a club; it is a ministry. There are local chapters overseen by elders. There are no by-laws, no dues, no mandatory meetings and no hype. We have a board of directors: "The Father, Son & Holy Spirit". If they can't keep the membership in line, then neither can we. Members must be Biblically accountable to the chapter elder and our own church. It is an opportunity to visibly be a witness for Christ as you ride your motorcycle and attend various functions & events. You must be a Bible believing Christian (male or female) and must be a member/consistent attendee of a Bible-believing Christian Church. We're sorry, but controversial/heretical churches & cults do not qualify. You should own or ride a motorcycle (500 CCs or larger) – Spouses who are only passengers may also apply.
You must have a desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
You must make a covenant before God, yourself, & us that you will not drink alcohol in public while wearing your colors, engage in drunkenness, use illegal drugs, or participate in illegal or immoral practices (including crude language or swearing) or engage in sowing discord as a member of this ministry. You must not let others wear your colors or do anything to discredit Christianity or your brothers & sisters. It is between you & God, so be faithful to Him. We won't follow you around, but we pray that you won't wear your colors if you aren't walking right. If you are discovered participating in any of the above practices, or if you leave active membership, we will ask for the patch back. If your patch privileges are revoked, we will hang it up for you & hold it until you get things straightened out. No money will be refunded. We ask you to be honest with yourself, God, and us in these matters.
Panhandle BFC meets the 4th Saturday of every month in our Fellowship Hall. We have a devotional, fellowship, chapter business and prayer time in the sanctuary. All this is designed to strengthen us within the ministry, so we may more effectively minister out in the world! We deal with and discuss adult issues at our monthly meetings, so no children, please! We usually end the meeting with a short (less than 100 miles) ride.
Don't get us wrong, we love kids! Hey, several times a year we have "fun runs" where take a long ride (200-400 miles) where kids, spouses, significant others are always welcome.
