Based in West Bridgewater, MA Faith & Pistons is a faith-based charity founded in 2013 and became an official registered 501(c)(3) charity in September 2014. Born from the vision of our founder Bob Cogan, who envisioned a program that would take his interest in all things automotive, a love of our Lord and the desire to help mentor teen boys and combine them into a unique program.
When the program first began our vision was focused on trying to appeal to teenage boys who might have been raised without knowing anything about church, Jesus or the Bible and would likely shy away from any church events like youth group or a bible study by appealing to their interests in Go-carts, cars and motorcycles.
We meet every Wednesday evening from 6-9PM where we have dinner and a message followed by “Yay God” praises (everyone must present a Yay God) and prayer requests. Our messages are geared towards the Bible being a toolbox full of tools to help us fix that which is broken in our own lives.
Lessons like The Fruits of The Spirit Galatians 5:22-23; The Armor of God Ephesians 6:10-18; Take Captive Every Thought 2 Corinthians 10:5; Do All Things as If for The Lord Colossians 3:23-24 just to name a few. Then off to the shop to work on either the project car or one that has been donated to us.
The cars that are donated to us are evaluated to see if they are worth repairing or scraping. The money received from the scrap car goes towards parts for the cars we can fix or supplies for the shop. The fixed cars are then given to people that have been presented to us and need a vehicle.
