About The Riders

Are you looking for adventure?

Head out on the highways and byways with the 2nd Thief Riders, the motorcycle outreach ministry of 2nd Thief Ministries. All makes and models of motorcycles from Harley’s to Honda’s, cruisers to sport bikes are welcome. Join us for some encouraging and refreshing fellowship as we ride some of the most scenic roads in the Nation. 2nd Thief Riders is a Motorcycle Ministry that combines our passion for the Lord with our love of motorcycling. It is a true joy and privilege to “Declare the Good News…on Two Wheels.”

2nd Thief Riders was formed out of a love for God and a passion for the sport of motorcycling. While the Riders appreciate the liberty and happiness that riding can bring, they know it is only temporary, lasting only until the ride ends. After that it is a fond memory at best.

2nd Thief Riders experience a genuine joy and freedom that is eternal and everlasting by embracing the truth found in God's Word. Real freedom and joy come only from a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ (John14:6).

2nd Thief Riders enthusiastically encourage you to receive the gift of love and grace found at the Cross.

A few of the benefits of riding with 2nd Thief Riders include:

• Serving and Enjoying Our Heavenly Father in a Christian Motorcycle Ministry
• Training to "Effectively Share the Good News"
• Outreach projects with Churches and Christian Ministries like Prison Fellowship and Angel Tree.
• Well organized local and multi-state rides.
• Amazing and Encouraging Fellowship
• Collaborative outreaches with the 2nd Thief Band

2nd Thief Riders declare the fullness of love and grace demonstrated by Jesus at the Cross. Riders enjoy great fellowship as they grow in the grace and knowledge of our risen Lord and Savior. Ponder these three simple truths as you consider the calling to ride with us.

Ministry: 2nd Thief Riders is a Christian Motorcycle Ministry and not a club. You will be a minister of God’s grace and truth (John 1:14).
Purpose: “Riding with purpose” is our motto. 2nd Thief will train and equip you with the tools to effectively declare the Good News (Ephesians 4:12-13).
Passion: Riding with purpose, we also ride with passion. Our passion is to encourage seekers to freely receive God’s Grace and Truth into their lives and believers to rest in the fullness of it (Ephesians 2:8-9) and (2 Cor 12:9).
