Team RFC was originally established in Southern California as a fellowship for Christians in the sport of motor racing, and has grown into a ministry organization with impact across North America and beyond.  The primary purpose of Team RFC is to address the emotional and spiritual needs of individuals in motorsports through pastoral care, fellowship, evangelism, and service.

Today, Team RFC ministers on the local, regional, national, and international levels in the world of motorsports.  And what a world this is!  Team RFC is active in:

• Auto and Motorcycle racing (drag racing, circle track, road racing, and off-road)
• Boat, Airplane, and BMX racing
• Hot Rodding and Antique, Vintage, and Classic Vehicle Restoring (car shows, concours events, cruise-ins, and rod runs)
• Rockcrawling, Truck and Tractor Pulling, and Antique Farm Equipment Restoring

Team RFC’s ministry is growing at a tremendous rate, and we strive to keep-up with the many opportunities that God sends our way. With a staff of more than 200 individuals, 95% of whom volunteer their time, Team RFC performs over 1,400 ministry activities each year including chapel services, invocations, calls on the sick or injured, Bible studies, weddings, baptisms, memorial services, and much more.  For individuals who, due to their hobby or profession, are rarely able to attend a traditional weekend service, Team RFC can become their church fellowship with every essential service that a local church provides in areas of ministry and pastoral care.

Our pre-race chapel services are expanding with enormous success, as RFC staff members conduct 700 chapel services each year, with attendance more than 450 in some cases.  An increasing number of racers, crew members, sponsors, track workers, and fans are becoming involved every day, contributing to our rapid growth in recent years.

In the United States, it is estimated that one-third of the population follow motorsports events each year; it is the fastest growing spectator sport in America.  Internationally, the television audience for motorsports is surpassed only by the Olympics and World Cup Soccer.  Recognizing that life is more than just a mechanized existence, Team RFC uses this growing popularity as a “platform” from which to express its message of love, inspiration, and encouragement to individuals who are involved in motorsports.
