Wadley’s Malone Baptist ministers to bikers statewide

Cars were not the only things filling the parking lot of Malone Baptist Church, Wadley, on June 17. Motorcycles from the Holy Riders, Crosswinds and Bikers for Christ motorcycle groups lined the parking lot during the annual “Motorcycle Sunday” gathering held at the Randolph Baptist Association church. 

“This event started about eight years ago when I began to invite some of my fellow motorcycle riders to come visit my church for worship,” said Tim Craft, pastor of Malone Baptist.

As a motorcyclist with the Holy Riders from Anniston, Craft was able to use this connection to invite his group as well as other bikers to fellowship. “Considering we are a smaller church, we don’t have a big event like a homecoming so this is our big event that we call ‘The Big Sunday,’” he said. The event included a worship service and a lunch immediately following.
