Our Story

It started with a conviction and a question.

Created With Purpose Co. started in the winter of 2021 in Minnesota — just a college student, a creative mind, and a conviction from the Lord.

I was in college when I discovered there was more to following Christ than showing up on Sunday. As I began reading His Word, I felt a clear calling: we are all meant to be evangelists. But I'm an introvert. Street corners and megaphones weren't my gift. So I asked myself — what is?

"Why don't I combine my creativity with this calling and create apparel that starts Jesus-centered conversations?"

That question became a business. And the name says it all — two meanings woven into one. The clothing itself was created with a purpose: to spark Gospel-centered conversations and point people to Scripture. But more than that, it's a reminder to the person wearing it: you were created with a purpose. To know Jesus. And to make Him known.

Over the past four years, what started as a Christian clothing brand has grown into something we never could have planned on our own. My husband joined the mission, and together we've sold at farmers markets, local festivals, and pop-ups across Manhattan, Kansas — a city we moved to in 2024 and quickly fell in love with.

Then, in early 2025, the Lord opened a door we hadn't even knocked on. After hosting a pop-up at Manhattan Town Center over the holidays, the community's response blew us away. When a suite became available, we prayed, said yes, and opened our first brick-and-mortar storefront a month and a half later. A year ago, we had no plans to open a store. But we serve a God who is faithful — and we've learned to follow His lead, even when it's unplanned.

Today, Created With Purpose Co. is more than apparel. We carry Bibles, devotionals, study tools, apologetics resources, children's books, prayer cards, and more — because we believe everyone deserves a place to grow in their faith, no matter where they are in their walk with Christ.

Whether you've never opened a Bible, or you're ready to dig into apologetics, or you simply want to raise your toddler to know Jesus — you belong here. This store was built for you.

"We wanted to create a space where people who may never walk into a church will walk through our doors — and encounter the Gospel."

We don't take that lightly. Every product on our shelves, every design on our clothing, every resource we carry was chosen with intention — to encourage growth, spark conversation, and point people to the One who created them with purpose.
