Ride to Live and live to Ride

About Us 


Steve who is a biker worked in the steel construction industry for 19 years. He walked the ‘high steel beams’ alongside gangs of steel erectors who built multi-storey steel framed buildings all over the UK. His work even took him as far away as Kathmandu, Nepal where he was assigned to weld, repair and erect a 45 ton Satellite dish for the King of Nepal.
In Sept 1996 - May 1999 the Sheppard family moved to Regents Theological College in Nantwich, Cheshire. Steve successfully completed his Honors Degree in ‘Theology and Christian Ministry’ and then completed his MA in ‘Christian Approaches to Leadership’ at Sarum College 2013 - 2016. He wrote his Dissertation on ‘I’m an Ironworker you can trust me’ as a challenge to the world’s deficit of trust and was awarded his MA with Distinction.

Both Lizzie and Steve have Pastored the Waters Edge Elim Church www.waters-edge.net here in Poole, Dorset since December 2001. They have been married for 41 years and have a Daughter and a Grandson.





The Bikers Prayer

‘Keep your face in the wind of God's Spirit,
Keep your eyes shaded from sin,
Keep your hands gripped upon God's Word
And Ride free with Christ's power within.’

The World Wide Biker community are very diverse but united by their common interest ‘ To Ride free and to Live free.’ We live in a time where hope is turning to despair, where love is rejected for hatred, where trust has been replaced by suspicion, where courage has been overtaken through fear and where truth has been exchanged for a lie.

Since I have witnessed within the biker community over many years courage, brotherhood, loyalty to the club, the belief in free thinking and free speech I wrote an article back in 2012 which I believe has a relevancy for today ‘for such a time as this.’

May the words of this article ‘stir up the gift’ that is within you so that courage and hope will be restored in your family places, home places, school places, work places and your club places.      2 Timothy 1:6
