 We are a Biker Friendly Church

 

We currently have 5 members in our church that are patch holders of the Redeemed Riders in the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA). CMA is an international ministry serving in over 14 countries worldwide taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to bikers and befriends all. CMA can be found on the Web at cmausa.org. CMA is not a club, but a ministry. We are involved in motorcycling events across the country and in taking the gospel of Jesus Christ into America's prisons. We have members of the Harrah 1st Assembly of God that belong to the CMA, "Redeemed Riders" Chapter 768, Shawnee, OK. We qualify our Church as "Biker Friendly."

If you would like any information about CMA, please contact one of our members.

Vision Mission About CMA
Ministry Teams: Servants' Women's Prayer Prison Hospitality Music Mechanical First Aid Children's Youth (Adults) Youth (Ages 13-18)
 

 Vision: Changing the world, one heart at a time. We will accomplish our vision through outreach primarily to the motorcycling community, but not exclusively.

We will accomplish our vision through:
+ Evangelistic outreach primarily, but not exclusively, to the motorcycling community.
+ Run for the Son, where we will partner with ministries with world-reaching potential.
+ Equipping our members in ministry training that aligns itself with Biblical truths.
+ A servant's attitude to the world and to our members (ie Here if you need us).
+ Quality products that aid in evangelistic outreach.
+ An effective WorkCenter support team. Top

Mission: To inspire our leaders and members to be the most organized, advanced, equipped, financially stable organization, full of integrity in the motorcycling industry and the Kingdom of God.

CMA partners with three other ministries (Jesus Film project, Missionary Ventures, and Open Doors) to spread the Gospel around the world. In 2004 CMA donated $546,293.00 to each one of the three ministries as a result of the Run for the Son fundraiser. Top

About CMA: CMA is a non-profit, interdenominational organization, dedicated to reaching people for Christ in the highways and byways through motorcycling. Since it's beginning in the mid 70's, CMA now has had over 100,000 applicants for membership and over 800 chapters chartered in the United States. Also, through the CMA International Ministry, CMA is represented in other countries throughout the world.
CMA is not a club, but a ministry. Our ministry team program is designed to make ministers of our members. We are involved in motorcycling events across the country and in taking the gospel of Jesus Christ into America's prisons. Our Seasons of Refreshing Conferences, conducted by CMA staff evangelists, prepare our members for ministry in the coming rally season.
CMA also has state, national, and regional rallies. These rallies are times of fellowship, praise and worship, fun bike games, and encouragement.
CMA operates under the heading of a Board of Directors working in conjunction with six regional evangelists. Together, this leadership team oversees CMA from a national level appointing state, area, and local leaders across the country. Top

 

CMA Ministry Teams
Have you ever considered going to a secular rally but were stopped by thoughts like "What would I do? Where would I fit in?" Here is a proven learning opportunity for you, based on Scriptural Concepts - The Christian Motorcyclists Association's Ministry Team Training Program. This training material includes practical teaching and illustrations, which demonstrate the importance of using your abilities to reach others with the Gospel. After listening and working through these tapes, you will learn that two of the key ingredients in sharing your faith are being visible and being involved. You will learn that building relationships with others will eventually open doors for ministry in the motorcycling world. Just a reminder, you must complete a ministry team in order to obtain a CMA back patch or any item with a large CMA logo.

Servants' Ministry Team
Designed for people willing to be used in a variety of ways by meeting practical and physical needs at rallies. This ministry team member may offer help to the rally promoter in such areas as registration, security, clean-up, motorcycle games, working at the ticket office, etc. This special audio training tape follows the six-tape basic series. You will hear from CMAers who are active on this special ministry team. This training series promises to provide you with many creative ways to serve at secular rallies or at one of many CMA events. Top

Women's Ministry Team
This special training material provides practical insight on building relationships with women. The six tape basic course provides practical and Biblical reasons for ministering on the highways and byways. This additional audio training tape is by women who are active in one-on-one ministry in the motorcycling world. You will learn how to open doors for meeting women's spiritual needs by first of all meeting their practical and physical needs. This series offers many suggestions, ideas and illustrations of how God can use you in the Women's Ministry Team. Top

Prayer Ministry Team
Many of you are actively involved in a prayer ministry in your local church and chapter, but you may not know other ways your prayers can reach out to the lost. Part of this training program is not only to give you the basics for praying for people's needs, but also to put your prayers into practice by visiting downed bikers and others in the hospitals. This ministry gives you the opportunity to minister to others who may not be near home, or may not be a Christian. Your prayers and visits may be the first step for many to come to know the love and forgiveness of the Lord. Top

Prison Ministry Team
CMA has developed a training program for those of you who wish to be more involved in prison ministry. Gary Wadding will share with you the principles of prison ministry and the procedures for making your visit inside a prison effective. This is a vital program that CMA knows you will want to become involved in (and show to your spouse and friends). Top

Hospitality Ministry Team
This is the team for those who naturally seem to draw a crowd around their camp. These team members may provide popcorn, soup, snacks, water, coffee, or just good fellowship at their camp for the purpose of building relationships and sharing Jesus. Practical suggestions in this training tape will equip you to offer ministry to the campers around you. Top

Music Ministry Team
The theme of this team is: "Music to reach their ears, so that the message can reach their hearts." The training material details how to provide music for services at the evangelist's request or how to lead group sing-a-longs around the campfire. If you are skilled in this area, this may be the team for you. Once completed, you may notify your Regional Evangelist of your availability in this area. Top

Mechanical Ministry Team
Designed for the person with mechanical abilities and a servant's heart. This material will instruct you on how to use your abilities to meet the mechanical needs of motorcyclists attending the rally. This series will give you the Biblical foundations as to why you are called to service. It will also show you how God can use you to be an effective witness for the Gospel as you reach people through your practical knowledge of motorcycles and engines. Top

First Aid Ministry Team
If you have first-aid skills, you may consider this ministry team. First Aid Team members offer basic services to rally participants for minor emergencies. The training tapes are taught by a certified first aid instructor and cover topics that may be graphic in detail for those not familiar with first-aid practices. To serve on this ministry team, you must have completed a CPR or first aid course and have a valid certificate. Top

Children's Ministry Team
The Children's Ministry Team is geared toward reaching the little ones. Children's Team members will learn what children like to do and what will keep their attention. If you are sensitive to the needs of young people and/or you are working with young people at the present time, this may be the team for you. Top
