Number of F.A.I.T.H. Riders chapters grows

RIDGECREST, N.C. — F.A.I.T.H. Riders has grown to 54 chapters in 10 states since its launch in February 2002 in Lakeland, Fla., at First Baptist Church at the Mall.

Buddy Newsome, a retired police officer now working full-time on the church’s staff to promote church-based motorcycle ministry across the country, said five Baptist state conventions have added F.A.I.T.H. Riders to their programs for witness and ministry, and a F.A.I.T.H. Riders chapter has been started at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Mo.
