Richard Ellerington and Dennis Leon have been planting churches for over a decade. Their role with Surf Church Collective is to help plant new churches in surf and beach communities around the world.

With the incredible missional work of Christian Surfers over the last 40 years we have seen a real move of God within the surf world. It has always been the desire to lead people to Jesus and help them land in a local church. However, it has seemed for several reasons, this has been a challenge. Either there have been no churches that exist in the community where a surf ministry has been planted or the local church has sadly rejected the newly saved surfer.

Surf Church Collective exists to see new churches planted or to come alongside existing churches to help them better understand beach and surf culture while also helping them to disciple local surfers.

We are excited to share our experience while also encouraging others to step out in faith into new areas to see the Kingdom grow as the Gospel is advanced.
