About us
Pastor Ski (aka. Joseph Marchelewski)
Founder and Senior Pastor, evangelist and
missionary to the Biker Community, and author, public speaker. Been going to church most of my life, first growin up in a Catholic family, then for several years after my mother became a
born again Christian attending several types of protestant
churches from the Baptist churches to ones that were the very charismatic expressions of the Christian faith. A few decades of
wandering through the wilderness that life can be, lost in the challenging life of a son, husband, and father I started a search
for meaning, truth, and purpose. Basically why I just couldn’t get life right.

Pastor Ski (aka Joseph Marchelewski)
That search over many years led me to Jesus. Then to what my God given purpose was. Which I ironically found when I bought my first motorcycle. Jumped right into biker ministry in 2005 andit has been a journey both of extreme joy and extreme challenges. Bikers tend to live in the extremes, it seems, living onthe edges, not the mainstream middle. Was called by God to start a church for the community I love and serve, got my theological and foundational training and June 14, 2009 began this journeyof be in pastor. The longer I’ve been in this faith arena the more I have found that there are many who feel more comfortable in a church such as ours. Hard core truth in a loving, caring, come as you are environment. We are all broken and imperfect, even on this ride of faith and that’s a beauty of our family of faith. As the song " Beautifully Broken " speaks of, Jesus puts us back together in a place of faith, love and hope.What a ride it has been and continues to be with my bride of over48 years, MamaSki . We have 3 boys with 3 super families and are enjoying the life only Jesus could call us to. Twisties, potholes, gravel roads and the open highway. That’s the life we ride.
