Skateboarding
Established in 2008
Opportunity for Impact:
Skateboarding and the culture that comes with it is an untapped group of people wide open for the gospel. Skateboarding is currently the sixth largest sport in America with more than 15 million skateboarders. There are also millions of parents ready to be impacted by FCA Skateboarding. Through education, skate parents will be able to better connect and communicate with their children about this sport.
Staff:
- Joe Matera – National Director
Ministry Strategy:
- FCA Skate Camps – Camps, the mainstay in this ministry, reach skateboarders and their families. FCA Skateboarding unites leaders and instructors that model FCA ministry. As Skate Camps have been the key influence in the development of FCA Skateboarding, we are currently adding camp opportunities nationally. FCA Skateboarding seeks to partner with other ministries that embrace FCA’s mission.
- FCA Skate International Partners – Partners reach out to the world for Jesus Christ while teaming up with international skateboarding missions.
- FCA Skate Huddle – FCA Skateboarders meet weekly at their local skateboard parks to skate, pray, and study God’s Word together. There are tremendous opportunities for middle- and high-school-age skateboarders to assemble for meetings inside their schools as “skateboarder specific huddles” that serve as a witness for Christ and His Church.
