Ministries
BIKERS FOR CHRIST INTERNATIONAL ministers a message of grace, hope and love, BFCI has bonded with the imprisoned youth of Georgia and men in drug and alcohol rehab centers who are seeking a positive change in their lives. BFCI is a special group of people with a unique means of communicating with those in the prison system and an ability to connect and reach those who have a hardened heart. Our message is clear and current: We understand...we have been where you are. These troubled youth are physically jailed but also spiritually imprisoned. BFCI has traveled many thousands of miles in pursuit of those who are lost in our prison system. We have witnessed miraculous redemption and change in attitudes in hundreds of individuals who may otherwise have been forever lost. We have uncovered true seekers of God...and inspired others to reconcile themselves with their Creator, their hope and their potential.
HIS HANDS MINISTRIES offers instructional classes in American Sign Language for both beginners and advanced signers. Our hearts' goal is to interpret the gospel both inside and outside of the church as we reach out to the community through home visitations, youth programs, prison ministry, music transitional ministry and worship through the means of sign language. We meet on Thursdays at 7:00 PM to learn and practice praise and worship songs to sign language. Services are interpreted on Sunday mornings for the Deaf.

NATION OF WORSHIP (N.O.W.) is a ministry of musical excellence with the purpose of leading the congregation of CITN into an atmosphere of intimacy with the Creator of all things. There is nothing like offering praise to God our Father and having the Father visit in manifest presence. In that environment, lives are changed and the table is then set for the bishop to give the meal of the day.
NOW PRISON MINISTRIES provides hope and the love of Jesus Christ, in a practical way, to people in need. The main ministry focus is on families and individuals who have had an encounter with the Georgia Juvenile Justice system or the Georgia Department of Corrections.Though we focus on only six facilities in Georgia our efforts impact local communities across the United States and overseas. As we positively affect the thinking of one Man, Woman, or Child the change is felt by their family and all that associate with them as they become more hopeful and responsible. Our objective is to teach and demonstrate positive, effective, behavior to interrupt the cycle of destructive thought patterns and behaviors so many of us were taught to live with.
