Skatechurch
What is Skatechurch?
Skatechurch is a ministry of Peninsula Covenant Church in Redwood City California that is in its 7th year of operation. At Skatechurch we exist to reach skaters with the saving message of Jesus Christ in the way that is most relevant to them. Our program offers a positive skateboarding environment, monthly day trips to local skateparks, and yearly week long trips to Orange County and Mexico.

Wednesday Free Skate

Wednesday free skate is a two-hour skate session intended for building relationships and introducing skaters to Skatechurch. This is a “limited setup” session, which means we just take out a few ramps and open up the mini ramp. The highest level of skating is usually seen on Wednesday. All ages are welcome, but this event is geared towards skaters middle school age and older. Skaters in grades 6-12 may stay and attend the Middle School Ministry or the High School Ministry from 7:00-9:00pm. There is no Bible message during this skate session.

Thursday Bible study is an opportunity for skaters in high school and older to grow in their faith. Each week we eat dinner together and watch skate videos and then study the Word of God for an hour. Skaters are encouraged to bring $2 to help pay for dinner.
Monthly Road Trips
Each month we take a road trip. Nine of the months we take a one-day trip to 2 or 3 Bay Area skateparks on the third Saturday of each month. In February we take a four day trip to the Fresno area over Presidents Day weekend. In the spring we take a high school group trip to Mexico on a 9-day mission trip. In late July we take a 7-day trip to Orange county. There is no Sunday skate event on road trip weekends.
