Overview....... a different kind of bike club.

MISSION: To expose each cyclist to the love and grace of Jesus Christ so that they may want to have a personal relationship with Him and unite Christian cyclists for a worldwide testimony in lifestyle, training, and sportsmanship.

1) LOCAL

a) Individual - IC3 aims to encourage, equip and facilitate individual members to be a witness in their sphere of influence within their local cycling community. The IC3 clothing continues to be an easy introduction to sharing the gospel. IC3's newsletters and tracts are also available as well as a network of other resources for Christian sports literature for evangelism and discipleship.

b) Spokes - Local chapters are directed by individuals who have applied and met the leadership requirements outlined by the IC3 policies. Although the Spoke's mission is that of IC3, its program and cycling interest is determined by its director and membership base (needs + resources = program). Each director is accountable to the IC3 Executive on a monthly basis.

2) INTERNATIONAL - IC3 is represented in 14 countries and Spokes exist in Australia, Canada, and the United States. As a global mission, IC3 has supported, through prayer and finances, two international ministries that desperately need bicycles for pastors and evangelists travelling to neighboring villages; Chizela Bible Institute, Zambia and Samaritan's Purse, India. Donations for these projects come from IC3 events such as races and clinics as well as individual members.

FACTS: Non-profit tax exempt organization (U.S.); volunteer administrator, Executive and Advisory Boards; membership fees and donations are directed back into the membership and IC3 purposes; full line of custom IC3 casual wear and cycling clothing; annual membership base of 700 in 14 countries, (38 U.S. states and 3 Canadian provinces); strong network with other Christian ministries: Sports Outreach America, Int'l Sports Coalition, Youth With A Mission, Int'l Bible Society, Youth for Christ, Athletes in Action, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Christian Financial Concepts, Samaritan's Purse, Edge TV, European Christian Sports Union, Sport et Foi, Bible Society, Focus on the Family.
