Faith on Wheels
Revving Up for Jesus: The Heart Behind Faith On Wheels Ministry
In a world where faith and everyday passions often seem disconnected, Faith On Wheels offers a compelling reminder that God can use anything—even a love for cars—to draw people closer to Him. This unique Christian car club has tapped into something powerful: the combination of automotive enthusiasm and the message of Jesus Christ can break down barriers, build community, and transform lives.
More Than Just Chrome and Horsepower
At its core, Faith On Wheels exists “to share our love for Jesus Christ and cars with our community.” That mission, while simple, speaks volumes about their purpose. What began as a car club has grown into a vibrant fellowship of Christ-centered individuals who see every car show, gathering, and conversation as an opportunity to share the Gospel and reflect God’s love.
What makes this ministry stand out is its focus on authentic outreach. They don’t keep their passion locked up in garages or private meetings. Instead, they meet people right where they are—at car shows, community events and conversations sparked by a shared love for automobiles. For many who wouldn’t normally attend a church service, a car show becomes the first step toward something deeper.
Lessons Learned Along the Way
Like any thriving ministry, Faith On Wheels has grown through trial, reflection and intentional change. In the early days, they ran a car care ministry alongside their car shows, aiming to serve in as many ways as possible. But over time, they realized their energy was spread too thin. Rather than doing everything halfway, they made the wise decision to narrow their focus.
By concentrating on what they do best—hosting impactful car shows that blend fellowship and evangelism—they’ve created a space that’s both meaningful and sustainable. The result? Events that are eagerly anticipated, community-driven, and spiritually rich.
Evangelism on Common Ground
The brilliance of Faith On Wheels lies in how it builds bridges through shared interests. Car lovers speak a unique language—one of craftsmanship, design, restoration and performance. Whether it’s admiring a custom paint job or swapping stories about engine rebuilds, these conversations open the door to deeper connections.
In this space, the car is just the beginning. Members of Faith On Wheels use these moments to build genuine relationships. They don’t force faith on anyone. Instead, they share their lives—the ups and downs, the hope they’ve found in Christ—and invite others to explore that same hope. The Gospel flows naturally from real conversations, sparked by a mutual passion.
Serving the Broader Community
The upcoming Faith On Wheels Car Show at Connections Church is a perfect example of their mission in action. It’s not just a display of vehicles—it’s a full community event. With live music, free food, kids’ activities, and even a fire truck demonstration, the event is designed for everyone, not just car enthusiasts.
Their God and Country theme adds a patriotic layer that resonates with the broader community, especially in a pre–Fourth of July context. It’s not political—it’s about giving people a space to celebrate the good things: faith, family, freedom and fellowship. It’s a ministry that understands its moment and meets people in it.
A Blueprint for Modern Ministry
Faith On Wheels offers a powerful model for ministry in today’s world. Rather than asking people to come to church, they bring the church to the people—through car shows, casual conversations and shared interests. Their regular gatherings and events create consistent, welcoming opportunities for connection.
They’ve become more than a club—they’re a spiritual support system. Members offer prayer, encouragement and a listening ear. They show that ministry doesn’t have to be formal to be effective. Sometimes the most impactful moments happen over the hood of a classic Camaro or under the shade of a tent at a community event.
Looking Ahead
As they continue to grow, Faith On Wheels remains rooted in their mission of sharing Christ’s love. They’re actively exploring ways to expand their service—helping the less fortunate, supporting local churches and continuing to make space for spiritual conversations that begin with shared passion.
For anyone wondering whether their hobbies or interests can be used for God’s glory, Faith On Wheels is living proof that they can. When we surrender what we love to the Lord, He can use it to reach people in ways we never imagined.
So whether you’re a lifelong gearhead or someone who just enjoys a good car show on a sunny afternoon, Faith On Wheels reminds us that God can speak through any interest, any gathering, and any story. Sometimes the road to Jesus runs right through the heart of a car show—and that road is paved with love, fellowship and the roar of restored engines.
