Why Skateboarding? Why Action Sports?

Demographics we’re reaching

When we launched Camp Arnold Skate Church in 2022, we quickly saw that many of the kids we served came from broken homes and were struggling with drug abuse, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Many also carried a naturally rebellious spirit. This is the culture we are reaching—a group largely overlooked by the traditional church.

A defining trait of the action sports world is its lack of age barriers. Unlike other environments, skateparks create spaces where generations naturally connect. Unfortunately, older skaters often set a negative example, influencing the younger generation in harmful ways.

Our mission is to change that narrative by introducing positive, authentic role models who inspire, guide, and uplift. We are building a strong, supportive community where mentorship and leadership happen organically. Action sports are one of the most powerful influences on youth culture today, yet many young people fall into the destructive patterns surrounding this industry.

This is our mission field, and we are committed to making a lasting impact.

Our Strategy

The Gospel is simple, but sharing it, advancing it, and making disciples—especially among youth—requires intentionality and perseverance. Truly investing in their lives demands sacrifice: time, energy, resources, and, most importantly, the courage to step beyond our comfort zones.

Our mission is to be fully committed—to give our time, resources, and lives to make a lasting impact. By building genuine relationships, walking alongside young people, and embodying the love of Jesus in a real and transformative way, we seek to inspire lasting change.
