Bikers' Church is a SENT church from Mount Hope Church and Pastor Dave Williams of Lansing, Michigan.  A SENT church is a new church plant that is an extension of Mount Hope Church. 

In 1997, Soul Zone Motorcycle Riders (SZMR) was formed as an Outreach Ministry of Mount Hope Church.  SZMR grew as the passion for serving bikers through this ministry in many different ways.  Although we were ministering to many bikers and clubs over the years, we found that something was still missing...a body of believers, gathering together to worship Jesus Christ.

In March of 2005, Bikers' Church began its first bikers service in the gym of Mount Hope Church.  Attendance grew, more and more bikers (and non-bikers, too)  began inviting friends and family to join us for our Thursday Night Bikers Service.  Rock n' Roll Worship, coffee and pork rinds, hanging out and playing pool...even riding your bike into the church...and presenting the Word of God in a way that you can apply to your life now...is part of the Bikers' Church experience.

In November of 2006, because Bikers' Church outgrew our space at Mount Hope Church, we were SENT as a new church plant.  Our new location fits us perfect.  It is an open warehouse building that allows us to come together in a comfortable atmosphere...no pews here...just tables and chairs and coffee and pork rinds and Rock n' Roll...all together a GREAT PLACE to hang out and experience God!

Pastor Joe and Karen Rabideau headed up Bikers' Church.  Pastor Joe is a credentialed License to Preach minister of the Assemblies of God.  He was called to ministry in 1997, graduated Mount Hope Bible Training Institute and was invited to join the staff of Mount Hope Church as an Assistant Minister in 1999.  During his time on staff with Pastor Dave Williams, he was responsible for the further development of Community Ministries under the direction of Associate Pastor Bruce VanHal and later Associate Pastor John Elieff.   Pastor Joe has been the Bikers' Church pastor since the beginning of Bikers' Church in March of 2005.  His wife, Karen, passed away on Christmas Eve of 2007.  Pastor Joe and Karen worked together as a true team, being dependent on God for wisdom and direction, personally and in ministry. 

In her absence, Pastor Joe's daughter, Melissa, has been an influence in carrying on many of the responsiblilities her mother watched over.  The whole Bikers' Church family has stepped in to make this ministry a wonderful place to find God and serve Him with love.

Join Pastor Joe and the whole Bikers' Church family for any of our outreaches, services or just stop by...at our new home located 1-1/2 miles South of Holt Road on Cedar Street between Holt and Mason.  Please see our map for further directions.
