The MIX Gameroom & Skatepark Mission Statement:

Our mission is to reach out to the local youth community in Albuquerque. The influence the culture has on today's kids is the reason why we have a variety of facilities and programs designed just for youth.

The MIX Gameroom & Skatepark Vision Statement:

The vision of The MIX Gameroom & Skatepark is to create a place for fellowship and fun for all youth, in a positive, productive, sober environment, where ministry can take place.

Student Skate Ministries

SkateMinistry focuses on the skate culture. We disciple skaters to reach out into the secular skate culture to show and share the love of Christ.

If you skate and love Jesus or want to learn more about the Bible, this is the ministry for you.

Join us on Tuesdays at 6 pm in The MIX Gameroom & Skatepark! Sign up online or when you join us at SkateMinistry.

We need Volunteers

No, you don't have to be a skater. Matthew 5:16 tells us to be a bright light. Our mission is to be a Christ-like example in the lives of the youth. The main requirement is a willingness to serve. 1 Peter 4:10 “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others...” Many of the youth that visit The MIX come from single family homes or have never stepped into a church. We are sometimes their first example of Christ in their lives. Whatever you do, we ask that you do it prayerfully and diligently.

Are you ready?

Do you have a God-Centered Heart?

It probably doesn't need to be said, but if you are going to be volunteering at          The MIX game room & skate park you should be a Christian yourself. This doesn't mean that you have to be the most knowledgeable Christian in the world, but you do need to have some understanding of your faith and you need to have a heart centered on God.

An effective volunteer will be able to demonstrate their own relationship with God as an example for others. It is hard to teach someone something you do not do yourself. Devotions, daily prayer time, and daily Bible reading will help you grow in your relationship with God and provide support in working as a volunteer. The servant heart is also important. Volunteering sometimes takes a lot of work. You will most likely need to be available to help set-up, clean-up, and attend events beyond regular services. 

A Sense of Responsibility and Authority:

Being responsible is a huge part of being an effective volunteer. You are a leader, and responsibility comes with the territory. You are responsible for certain tasks, supervision, and being an example. You need to be authoritative enough to keep students in line. Just because a teen is a Christian does not mean they make the best decisions.

As a responsible and authoritative volunteer you need to set boundaries. Certain acts require that you contact staff and pastors. Certain actions mean that you have to stand up to a teen to tell him or her she is doing wrong.

A Positive Attitude:

There is nothing more damaging than a cranky volunteer. If you complain the entire time, your students will start to associate negative traits with the skate park and church as a whole. Even in the worst of times you need to be able to put on a calm face. Keep your focus on the good in every situation. Yes, it is hard sometimes, but as a volunteer you need to keep your students focused in the right direction.

There is a lot of responsibility when you become a volunteer.
