OUR STORY | LUMENCROSS
How Lumencross Grew from Two Dreamers to a Faith-Fueled Movement
There was a time when we felt like we were creating in the wrong world.
I was a painter working for a fashion company, designing for trends I didn’t believe in. After dinner, with a baby monitor nearby and the house finally quiet, I’d sit down and draw crosses—tiny sketches of something eternal in a world that felt so temporary. My husband, a musician and worship leader, was preaching the Gospel through songs on weekends. But during the week, he worked in marketing, helping companies promote products that often felt empty. He saw the entertainment world as a spiritual battleground—a place that numbed people, pulled them from truth, and pushed the sacred to the margins.
We both felt it: the ache of creating without mission. Our gifts felt split. Our callings disconnected. Our hearts, restless.
Then came one Sunday that changed everything.
We were sitting in our little beach-town church in Florida. The pastor said something that gripped us:
“We are each meant to be lumens—little units of light. Even one can change a room.”
That line stayed with us. Later that afternoon, we sat down at our kitchen table and asked, What if this is our answer? What if we put all we are into one shared mission?
That day, Lumencross was born.
We began with simple sketches of cross necklaces. No big team. No outside help. Just faith, purpose, and a garage studio filled with prayer and metal dust. We turned our evenings into workshop hours. Each design felt like a calling. Slowly, what started as an idea turned into a brand—and that brand turned into a movement.
FAITH WITHOUT COMPROMISE
"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." – Matthew 5:16
As we launched Lumencross, we discovered something heartbreaking:
Many of the "Christian" products we saw being sold were made in the same factories that produced occult amulets, zodiac charms, and dark imagery. The same machines making crosses were also stamping satanic symbols. The same companies profiting off rosaries had never spoken the name of Jesus.
We couldn’t stand by and call that sacred.
So we built something different. Every Lumencross product is created with faith-centered artisans and partners. From sketch to casting, from engraving to packaging, each item is touched by people who believe in the message behind the metal.
Today, Lumencross offers over 3,000 unique designs—from minimalist everyday pieces to ornate heirloom christian gifts. We design for every budget and every believer. Whether it’s a simple cross bracelet or a gold-vermeil keepsake, each one carries the same mission: to make faith visible.
We make Signature Symbol & Design Pieces that carry weight and identity—not just vague "Christian vibes," but true spiritual expression. Pieces like hammered crosses, mustard seed necklaces, thorns-wrapped bracelets, and Virgin Mary medallions that speak scripture without saying a word.
KINGDOM ECONOMICS IN ACTION
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace." – 1 Peter 4:10
Lumencross is more than a store. It’s a mission.
Every time you order from us, you help fuel Gospel-centered initiatives. Not just through donations, but through the entire ecosystem of what we do.
We use about 50% of our marketing budget to fund Christian media directly—blogs, podcasts, music, films, online Bible studies, and more. Your order helps:

We become the voice, the amplifier, and the support system behind creators who are lighting up the culture with truth.
A HOME FOR FAITHFUL CREATORS
"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." – 1 Corinthians 12:27
As Lumencross grew, we started getting messages from Christian makers and artisans: "Can I be part of this?"
So we said yes.
Now, Lumencross is also a marketplace for faith-based creators. We partner with artists who make handmade Christian jewelry, paintings, books, music, devotionals, and more. If your work glorifies God, we want to help you share it.

LUMENITES: THE ONES WHO SHINE
"Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father." – Matthew 13:43
We don’t call our community "customers."
We call them Lumenites.
From the moment you place your first order, you become part of a growing circle of believers who choose to wear and share their faith without apology. Together, we are illuminating dark spaces, supporting Christian creators, and sparking revival.
"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord..."
— Philippians 2:10–11

A LETTER FROM THE HEART OF LUMENCROSS
By Kate
I used to sketch crosses late at night—after the baby was asleep, after the dishes were done, after my day job in fashion was over. I felt like I was designing for trends, not truth. But something in me kept returning to those crosses. They were my quiet rebellion. My worship in ink.
My husband felt it too. He’d preach through music on weekends, but every weekday he was helping brands sell things that didn’t align with our values. We both knew: this couldn’t be it.
Then came that church service. That moment. That one sentence from our pastor that lit a fire in our souls:
“Be a lumen. Even one can light the room.”
That day, we said yes. To the calling. To each other. To the mission.
From our family to yours: Lumencross was built with prayer, sweat, grace, and faith. We make every piece as if it matters eternally—because to us, it does.
Thank you for carrying the light with us.
With love,
Kate
