Summary



CMA is a non-profit, interdenominational organization, dedicated to reaching people for Christ in the highways and byways through motorcycling. Since its beginning in the mid 1970s, CMA has had over 160,000 applicants for membership and over 1,380 chapters chartered in the United States. Also, through the CMA International Ministry, CMA is represented in other countries throughout the world.

CMA is not a club but a ministry. Our Member Training program is designed to make ministers of our members. We are involved in motorcycling events across the country and in taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ into America's prisons. Our Seasons of Refreshing Conferences, conducted by CMA staff evangelists, prepare our members for ministry in the coming rally season.

CMA also has State, National, and Regional rallies. These rallies are times of fellowship, praise and worship, fun bike games, and encouragement.

CMA operates under the heading of a Board of Directors working in conjunction with six regional evangelists and a special projects evangelist in order to support the growth of the ministry. Together, this leadership team oversees CMA from a national level appointing state, area, and local leaders across the country.

History

The original brainstorm for such an organization occurred in 1972 when Herb Shreve and his teenage son purchased their first motorcycles. It was not until 1974 when the need for a new organization began to be realized. Herb attended his first motorcycle rally and saw a massive crowd of motorcyclists who did not know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. In fact, many had never heard the Gospel message.

The realization of such a great need prompted Herb to share his vision with a couple of Christian friends. Together, they began to pray. Herb became more and more convinced that God wanted a Christian organization dedicated to reaching motorcyclists with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the spring of 1975, he put action to his prayers. An attorney was contacted and a non-profit charter was applied for and approved. The waiting was over. The Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) was born.
