HXC Christian (Hardcore Christian), has one goal. To spread the love of Jesus Christ to the hardcore, punk, ska, and Oi! communities. The folks that run HXC Christian are all Jesus loving people that grew up in the hardcore, punk, ska and/or Oi! scenes. We learned that God loves us and that He sent His son Jesus to die for our sins, plain and simple. We want to share that message with the scenes that we love and let them know there is a raging Christian hardcore, punk, ska, and Oi! community that exists to praise God. Just because you love Christ doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy hardcore, punk, ska, and Oi! still!
