Christian ska is a form of alternative Christian music, and sub-genre of ska and ska-punk which is lyrically oriented toward Christian music. Though ska did not constitute a genre within the Christian music industry until after third wave ska had peaked in the general market, Christian ska continued to thrive independently into the early 2000s. Ska music came to be seen as "an excellent vehicle for exhortation and praise due to its up front lyrical style" and upbeat, energetic, joyful sound. While there were a large number of smaller bands, ska in the Christian marketplace in the late 1990s came to be primairly represented by three bands--The Insyderz, The O. C. Supertones, and Five Iron Frenzy--all of whom were commercially successful and ministry-oriented in their own right. As with third wave ska in the general market the sound was often intermingled with that of punk, swing, or rockabilly. In parallel with mainstream ska, many underground Christian ska bands released one or two ska based albums to before completely genre-hopping away from ska or dissolving. Even the sounds of the "big three" tended to evolve. By 2002 one critic described the horn section of the Supertones as "providing color instead of the dominant sound". From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Are there any good Christian Ska Bands left around? Q. What's up! I am a huge fan of the O.C. Supertones, Buck Enterprises, and Five Iron Frenzy, but ska appears to be dead. I played trumpet for 8 years, and love Christian rock music, so the combination, I think, is awesome, any help? Perhaps you are in the band? Thanks in advance. Asked by bpuckhead89 - Sun Jan 1 00:15:40 2006 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. Hey buddy, I feel ya 100%. I used to listen to ska of all kinds, from Five Iron to Less than Jake. Even the O.C. Supertones had some great songs. But ska has indeed gone the way of the buffalo. I still listen to the Bosstones and LTJ but if you want Christian Ska specifically, I'm posting a link with a list of current Christian Ska bands. Keep up the skankin!

If we want to be super-technical about it, you could refer to FIF as "ska-core" or "third wave ska" which is ska mixed with punk rock influences. Other examples of ska include Reel Big Fish, The Urge and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to name a few.
