What is 3CS?

3CS (aka Third Coast Skaters) is a non-profit 5013c skateboarding park outreach that is housed in a 10,000 sqaure foot warehouse faclity located in the Channelview area of Houston, Texas. 3CS uses skateboarding as an effective tool to reach students for Christ. Every Tuesday skaters are exposed to worhsip, relevent messages and skateboarding - TONS of skateboarding. For the most part, these students are not actively involved in a local church or any other ministries. It is the desire of Third Coast Skaters to present the life-changing message of Christ in a non-denominational presentation that will get these students connected and plugged into the body of Christ.

3CS has remained in it's current location since 2004 and has positively connected with hundreds of teenagers.
