Connecting Faith and Everyday Life

Meet Shirley Watkins, one of the passionate hearts and founding minds behind Christian Faith Goods. As Co-Founder, Shirley is deeply involved in guiding our mission: To empower believers to visibly express their Christian faith and share the hope of the Gospel through thoughtfully designed, high-quality goods for everyday life. Her personal faith journey and vision are woven into the fabric of our call to “Wear Your Faith. Share Your Hope.“

The Story Behind the Vision

Shirley’s journey with Christian Faith Goods wasn’t born from a typical business plan, but from genuine faith and deep friendship. Alongside Co-Founder Gabrielle Chambers, Shirley often found herself reflecting on meaningful, practical ways to keep her relationship with Christ at the forefront of a busy life – beyond just Sunday mornings.

They recognized a shared longing, both personally and within their community, for beautiful, contemporary items that could serve as daily reminders of God’s love and truth. This desire sparked the vision for Christian Faith Goods – a place born from authentic faith, created to encourage fellow believers on their own walks with Christ.

Experience Rooted in Faith and Life

While Shirley might not claim titles like theologian or formally trained designer, her true expertise lies in her lived experience as a committed Christian navigating middle age and seeking to integrate faith into every corner of life. Her passion stems from a sincere desire to find and create tangible ways to keep God’s word close and share the encouragement found in scripture.

She understands the desire for items that are not only faith-affirming but also align with a modern aesthetic. This perspective – authentic, relatable, and deeply rooted in personal belief – is what Shirley brings to Christian Faith Goods. It fuels her involvement in inspiring and curating designs that resonate with believers looking for meaningful ways to express their identity in Christ daily.
