Josh Jones grew up as a pastor's son in small East Texas towns. Around the age of 13 he began to

develop a love for skating and the culture by which it was surrounded. Josh accepted Christ at

an early age. However, it was also at the age of 13 and around the same time that he began to skate

that he really began to discover what it really means to follow Christ. That was also the same

year that he surrendered to full time vocational ministry. About a year after Josh surrendered to

ministry God gave him the vision to start a ministry which would reach out to skaters and

their culture.

Then when he was 15 he and his family moved to Wimberley, Texas, in between Austin and San

Antonio, in order for his dad to pastor the body of Christ at FBC Wimberley. A year and a half

later God began to open doors for Josh to participate in the leadership of a newly formed

ministry through Cypress Creek Church which was directed to outreach and disciple the skaters of

Wimberley. While God began to open these doors He also gave Josh the opportunity to teach junior

high boys in sunday school.

About a year after the ministry had started Josh left in order to follow the calling of

God to the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor. There Josh took on the role of Pastor to juniorhigh

and highschool students at FBC Moffat. Now after a year of prayer, direction, and guidance Josh has

been given a different direction in his calling to minister to skaters. Josh now feels that he has

been called to use his experience with his first ministry to skaters in helping other churches or

communities start their own outreaches to skaters. Now more than ever Josh feels a strong

calling to minister to, disciple, and speak in front of juniorhigh and highschool students and to

skaters of all ages. Prayers and blessing to all of you.

With the Love of Christ
