The Christian Skaters International Ministry is a non-denominational Christian mission movement focusing on skateboarders.[1][2] It was founded in the early 2000s and formed as a US non-profit in 2005 and UK in 2008.
Christian Skaters works with skate ministries in over 90 different countries around the globe. Ministries have been launched in the UK,[2] Germany, Honduras, Cairo, Africa, and Australia. Christian Skaters also co-hosts Skate Conferences[3] in the United States,[4] the UK,[5] and South Africa.[6]
Christian Skaters also runs skate missions to help build skateparks and ramps, helps host events, camps, skate comps, and proselytizes through surf and skate trade shows like Action Sports Retailer and the Surf Expo.
