To skate in a session, participants must meet the grade/age requirements for that particular session. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Halfway through each skate session, skaters are required to sit and listen to a 30-minute Bible Talk. Those who arrive after the Bible Talk cannot skate that night. Those who leave before the Bible Talk must attend the talk before they can skate in another session.

Rules
Skatechurch is more than a place to skate. We exist to tell skaters about God. If you come to skate you MUST attend the Bible Talk halfway through the session. If you are not willing to hear about God then Skatechurch is not for you.
Beyond that, we simply ask that skaters obey the staff, respect other people and church property, skate safe, and have fun!
Please note: We are a SKATEBOARDING ministry.
- Only skateboarding is permitted at Junior High, High School and Over-18.
- INLINE skaters and SCOOTERS are permitted ONLY at Peewee.
- BMX riders are not permitted at any session.
