Altar'd State - Redemptive Entrepreneurship

Altar’d State

One of my favorite stores to visit at the Ross Park mall is Altar’d State. Upon visiting the store, each visitor is attracted to the beautiful window display. Further, each customer is met with a kind employee, seeking to answer any questions or inquiries. The store itself, contains a plethora of beautiful clothing, accessories, and shoe wear. Perhaps the most attractive merchandise that the store sells is their line of Christian themed clothing and decorations. Passages from the Bible are printed on various pieces of clothing, necklaces, plaques, and blankets. The store itself is stunning, as its decorations and bright lights create an incredibly welcoming and comfortable feeling to it. Upon searching their website, they state their mission statement, “Our mission is to serve as an inspiration, empower others and give more than we receive. We do this by lifting those who need a helping hand, volunteering our time to enrich lives, and extending the power of prayer.”. As per my experience with this company, they work hard to stay true to carrying out this statement.

Altar’ d state has proven to be a redemptive company because despite the challenge to be a successful Christian store amidst the questionable crowd that tends to peruse the mall, this store perseveres and has proven to not only be profitable, but successful in working towards their mission statement. This store is very refreshing, as it sits in a location that also contains companies that are not putting forth their best effort to spread the word and love of God. As stated on their website, Altar’ d state works hard to “make the world a better place” through their customer service and spreading the power of God and prayer through their products.

Altar'd State seems to be a store that goes above and beyond the norm, and their mission statement reflects this. It's rare to find a company that focuses on empowering others and giving more than it receives. Altar'd State seems to be committed to not only offering high-quality products but also using their platform to promote a message of hope and faith. The Christian-themed clothing and decorations are a unique touch that sets this store apart from others in the mall. It's refreshing to see a company that isn't afraid to openly display its values and beliefs, and it's clear that the store's customers appreciate this as well. The fact that the store has been successful in such a challenging environment is a testament to their dedication and hard work.

I also love Alter'd state! I have always admired the way that they incorporate bible verses and Christian themes into their clothing and decor. I think this is an amazing way to bring up these values in a subtle way that piques the interest of people who maybe aren't so informed about it. I also love how their mission statement mentions extending the power of prayer and giving more than they are taking. That is a value that people are attracted to. I feel refreshed walking into the store as well, and see their mission statement really being lived out.

I love Altar'd State and have always admired their company's mission and vision for serving each of their customers with respect and love. The beauty of their store is so welcoming and attracts so many people outside the faith which is why I find their company so neat. The beauty of the store and the quality of their products draws people in, and the customer service is exceptional. Not only do the employees treat their customers with love, but many of Altar'd State's products convey the gospel through scripture or Christian quotes. Altar'd State is a great example of a company having redemptive impact on many people's lives.
