OUR CHAPTERS
Christian Skater’s main focus is introducing skaters to Jesus and discipling them in God’s Word. This vision may look different, depending on the location of a ministry. However, a typical CS partner/chapter hosts a weekly Bible Study to disciple local believers. These local skaters are integrated into their skate communities and led by a team of leaders from supportive local churches. Typical activities include regular meetings and evangelistic skater-friendly Bible studies, contests, camps and day trips, skate clinics, skate missions and outreach/service at secular events reaching the skate culture. Each affiliated partner or ministry agrees to Christian Skaters’ vision, core values and statement of faith.
If there is no established Christian Skaters in your area, but you think there may be an opportunity to set one up, get in touch with the international office. They will be happy to discuss your area and how CS can help with taking the good news of Jesus to your local skateboarding.
