Christian-owned companies are diamonds in the ruff. It can be quite difficult to find a company or a store whose owner(s) shares the same ideals as you.
As you may know, companies are made with different purposes. Some business owners simply want to make money, but for others, there's a deeper purpose for it.
So if you're in the United States you probably know about In N' Out Burger and Chick-Fil-A, but there are still other Christian companies out there to support. Take a look at these 5 Christian companies with Godly values that you should know about:
1. Forever 21
Forever 21 is a one-stop-fashion shop for everyone. You will practically find everything you need here from clothes, bags, shoes and even makeup. Many are fond of shopping here because the prices are affordable and there's a wide array of fashion choices.
However, what makes F21 very special is that this is actually a Christian-owned company. The Changs are born-again Christians and Mrs. Chang, co-owner of F21 once shared that opening the store is God's calling for her. You can actually see "John 3:16" printed under the plastic bags.
2. Mary Kay
Mary Kay Ash, owner of this cosmetic brand, built the company with a goal in mind--to let all women know that they are beautiful creations of God. This has been her motivation ever since. She also attributes the success of Mary Kay to God, sharing the company is blessed because they had the right motivation behind it. So if you're planning to buy some beauty products and cosmetic, put Mary Kay on your list.
3. Interstate Batteries
At face value, Interstate Batteries may not look like a Christian company. But once you read the company's purpose and values, you'd be surprised! The mission statement reads:
Our Purpose
To glorify God and enrich lives as we deliver the most trustworthy source of power to the world.
Our Values
LOVE. Treat others like you'd want to be treated.
SERVANT'S HEART. Lead with what people need.
EXCELLENCE. Do great things with the gifts you've been given.
COURAGE. Learn, improve and boldly drive change that matters.
FUN. Work hard, laugh often.
TEAM. Together, we're better.
INTEGRITY. Be who you are and live up to your commitments.
4. Tyson Foods
John Tyson, owner of Tyson Foods, launched the Chaplaincy Program in 2000. The program aims to employ chaplains who will help motivate, encourage and pray with their team members. Currently, there are 115 chaplains employed in Tyson Foods with 113,000 team members.
5. Hobby Lobby
This arts and crafts chain store donates and ministers. Hobby Lobby donates 10 percent of its in-store discounts to school, churches and charities and can also arrange for its customers to get the discount for donations. One of the company's mission statements says "We are committed to...Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles." This is also why the store is closed on Sundays.
Not all company owners are money hungry; there are really good ones out there who uses their hands for serving God. Let's continue to watch out for Christian-owned companies and help support them and their cause.

Glad to see tyson foods- see their products a lot in grocery stores next to other brands, so will definitely be purchasing more now that i know they honor God- there might be better tasting similar foods from other companies, but it’s the principle with me-
Yes, thanks for posting.
My kids love Forever 21! and I love Interstate Batteries. Independent tests have demonstrated that Interstate Batteries are consistently rated among the top batteries available.

Thanks for posting this.
Is that the same Tyson Foods that has long standing ties to the Clintons? IIRC it was a Tyson’s lawyer who “coached” Hillary’s cattle future investments lo so many years ago.
Bkmrk.
Pizza Ranch
Heyyyy!!! You’re that guy!!!
Might be a smoke screen with Tyson. Don’t know
Hillary was a lawyer for Tyson when hubby was governor, Influence peddling and a “chickens futures” type scandal.
Tyson also brought in illegals from Mexico and gave them false papers to work in their factories.
I haven’t bought Tyson since Clinton was president
I didn’t know that-
[[illegals from Mexico and gave them false papers to work in their factories.]]
Definitely not cool-
Thanks for sharing. Of these you listed, I was only aware of Hobby Lobby having Christian basis.
C12 is a Christian business owners’ group of which I believe Interstate Batteries is or was a member. I’m a member. There are a bunch of businesses that intentionally operate by Christian principles. Glad there’s some press taking notice.
They may have repented. That’s why I mentioned I didn’t know.
Well i hope they did- it could have been just a select few plants, unbeknownst to the owner- and like you said, once he found out, it could have been rectified maybe- It’s not likely that the government would have allowed them to continue this illegal practice once it was discovered- but i hope they did genuinely repent-
I have the same question about ties to the Clintons. It seems to me that I stopped buying their products years ago because of these ties.
I went back and checked, one of the articles about the illegal aliens was two years after the chaplain program started. I wonder how many illegals are working there today.
I don’t buy the unbeknownst to the owner. I won’t be buying Tyson
There was a chickens futures before there was a cattle futures. I guess the chicken led the cow.
