Our Story
Christian Skaters is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that relies on the financial support of churches, foundations, and individuals. We have been reaching out to the skateboarding community since the 1990s. Inspired from the movement of Christian Surfers, Christian Skaters was officially born in 2003. Christian Skaters felt a call to link arms with skate ministries from a number of countries to form an international movement. Christian Skaters exists to equip and encourage those with a heart to share Jesus Christ with the skateboarding culture.
Our Mission
We are a global family who are dedicated to living out our faith, sharing the hope we have in Jesus Christ and discipling people in skate communities through God's Word, in Spirit and Truth.
Our Vision
To connect local skate communities to Jesus by building a movement where faith, creativity, and skate culture intersect. We envision young people discovering purpose, hope, and identity in Christ, while growing strong communities that reflect God's love, unity, and truth both on and off the board.
