Take Up The Cross was truly a seed planted in our hearts for many years. Being busy, stay-at-home moms with five children between us, we kept putting off the idea of starting a Christian-based business. In 2004, God made the path clear for us to pursue our dream.

The idea of Take Up The Cross grew from our search for tasteful inspirational products we could proudly display in our homes or give as meaningful gifts to family and friends. Today, our collection of products has grown to include jewelry, clothing, gifts and home decor from many different vendors and artists, as well as our own Take Up The Cross designs.

We are thankful to you, our loyal customers, who understand the value of having spiritual reminders in your homes. Like you, we believe in the importance of proclaiming our Christianity by wearing a cross or an inspirational piece of jewelry. Like you, we appreciate the joy of giving the perfect gift of faith. We hope you continue to visit us and continue to "take up the cross."

God's Blessings,
Sonja and Julie
