For those interested in becoming part of the HRMM organization, and are at least the age of 18 (under 18 on a case by case basis may be sponsored by a member in good standing), you must be a licensed and insured operator of a bike (any type) 500cc or above; or you must be willing to ride as a passenger at times as well as to participate in calendared outreaches and events, including praying sharing your faith either one on one and/or by handing out gospel tracts and sharing your testimony. *In certain circumstances, consideration will be given to those who fit all the criteria mentioned, however they find themselves having been injured or ill after many years on the road but no longer able to ride. These particular prospective members will be given special consideration not only because of their past riding experience, but also their desire to join with HRMM and take part in outreaches/ministry events as fellow ministers.
If a member of HRMM marries, and their spouse who rides or is a willing passenger and desires to become a member of this motorcycle ministry....he/she will have to endure the process of membership just like every other prosepctive member. No member patches will ever be awarded without this process.
We do welcome folks who do not ride but want to be a part of our events; however they are not able to become full members of HRMM unless they ride in some capacity. (We will have supporter patches available at some point and time in the future).
If you are considering becoming a member, you must be attending a local CHRISTIAN church or bible study/fellowship consistently, and agree to the HRMM Statement of Faith and our bi-laws.
*Becoming a member is a four part process. Those interested in membership will need to endure at least a 30 day (1) “hang around period” before being considered to become a patch holder.
*After the 30 day period, you will become a (2) “prospective patch holder” and awarded the Heaven Bound Rocker.
*After a total of 60 days both we and you should know if HRMM is a commitment that you wish to continue for the long haul and you will be awarded your small front patch and name bar as a (3) “prospective patch holder.”
*After a total of 90 days; 30 days as a hang around, 60 days as a prospective patch holder, (taking part in outreaches, events, meetings, etc) you will be awarded the final patch as an (4) “official member of HRMM” – the large back patch. Being an official member gives you an opportunity to be recommended for positions in the ministry.
A members first set of patches is given free, however since the cost is significant, the ministry does require a free will offering to offset the costs. Any additional sets of patches for other vests/jackets which a member wears may be purchased at cost. Patches are to be worn only and not purchased for display purposes. Respect is given to the patch; however as members we shall never defend “the patch” by violence. The blood has already been shed by our Savior on Calvary’s cross.
Just as a matter of information here in the state of CA, if a law enforcement officer pulls a patch-holder over simply because they are wearing a patch, would be considered “profiling.” Though we admonish every patch-holder to be respectful, we also warn every member NEVER to sign any document produced by a member of law enforcement that would place either the member or our patch in a grouping with any gang affiliation. We are not a club and we absolutely abhor gang activity, and though some of our members may have previously been part of a club or gang before devoting their life to Christ, He has made us “new creations” and we will have nothing to do with this type of activity during our membership with HRMM. Being coerced to sign such a document can strip us of our constitutional freedoms.
Although we refer to it as a “patch,” others refer to them as “colors;” therefore if you enter an establishment whose rules require the removal of “colors,” kindly remove your vest/jacket, or turn it inside out, for the sake of respect or leave the event in proper order. Unless otherwise asked, under no circumstances will you remove your vest/patch. For example – A Patch Holder NEVER hangs their vest on the back of a chair in a public setting, but always has it in their possession!
