Chris had no idea when he moved to Vancouver, WA that he would be starting an outreach to the skateboarding youth community. After connecting with a handful of skaters one day, Chris invited them to come build ramps, skate and hear about God at the youth group where he was the Youth Pastor. Each week more and more skaters would come and do just that. After a few months there were hundreds of skaters and BMX bikers who came to be a part of an amazing community. Skate church evolved and eventually an indoor skate park was built, sponsorships were formed, skate tours were planned and competitions took place. From 2006 to 2012 Skate church was a thriving community in Vancouver, WA.
