SUFG is a small Christian store in New Bern, North Carolina...with a big vision. Obviously, we want to be a successful store that makes a profit, since we would cease to exist without it. But there is much more meaning to our madness. We want to be an integral part of what God is doing in Eastern, NC and across the globe with the many outreach ministries that extend from the churches in our area. We desire to see the Awesome News of Jesus' salvation gift enter the minds and hearts of as many people as we can influence. Although we are not a ministry per se, we support those in our area who are. We want to be one of many spokes in the wheel of the machinery that God uses to accomplish His purpose within our sphere of influence. We want to help Christians live their lives closer and more pleasing to our Creator and Savior. We want to run a good race and fight a good fight for King Jesus, as he deserves nothing less than our absolute best efforts.

Store History

SUFG started out in 2004 as Manny's Christian Books and Music. It was owned by Steve & Karen Auten until 2009, when the store was purchased by Tim Dalhouse on August 1st. Tim was recently retired from the United States Marine Corps and looking for an entrepreneurial adventure where he could contribute to God's purpose. This was it. Tim immediately hired Cat Weston as his manager, jazzed up the store a bit, and set out to support the local Christian community and Churches with relevant, cutting-edge products in a contemporary environment. Dedicated and connected to the local community, SUFG has become a hub of activity where churches post their events and come for supplies, while local Christian musicians play free live music for all who stop by. We plan to grow and be here for a long time. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR LOCAL STORE!!!

We are open extended hours until 10pm on days when we host live music concerts. Please check our Upcoming Events page for details on our next concert!
