True Biker Church? Steven W. Hudson

At Highway 5 Baptist Church we are a biker friendly Church. Our motto is "Everyone welcome from bikers to bankers" and we sincerely mean it. We are a come as you are group, you can come in your leathers, wearing your colors, work clothes, or dress up as much as you want. All we do ask is that you come covered up also known as modest dress, no butt, boobs, or belly showing and that is for men and women. We have all types of music, we have bible studies, pure preaching of the Word of God, prayer meetings, a Christian biker group "Heaven Bound Bikers, and a multitude of other kinds of fellowship.

The bible teaches and we believe that a church is a called out, local, visible, assembly of believers in Jesus Christ. Everyone is welcome to come praise and worship God with us and participate in most everything we do. However like all groups there are things restricted to recognized members. Just like a motorcycle club, business organization or any other called out assembly there are certain things only recognized members are allowed to participate in. Things such as voting in business meetings, control of financial materials and assets and the two scriptural ordinances commanded in the scriptures.

Yet a few weeks back a couple who are not voting members but have been coming to the Church and riding with the Heaven Bound Bikers were told that we are not a real biker Church, that there is only one true biker church in our area and that it was not us.

I don't understand this statement and would like to know what you think. What makes a Church a true biker Church and where does the scripture say that there is to be a special Church for different segments of the community, race or anything else? We believe all people need Jesus Christ in their lives and all need to be active in a local, visible, assembly of believers.

What are your thoughts on this matter?
