We never imagined that a hobby could turn into a small business, but here we are. In the summer of 2020, we were given the opportunity to begin selling our Original Leather Belt Pouch. From there our hobby has grown into what you see today – Just a Nazarene Leather Co. That may seem like an odd name to choose, and it is. So let me tell you why we chose it.

Almost 2,000 years ago, there was a master craftsman who worked out of northern Israel. His name was Yeshua of Nazareth. For most of his life, he was a carpenter, but He went on to change the world, literally. You may know Him as Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, he came preaching repentance, forgiveness for breaking His Father’s law, and of His future kingdom. What you may not realize is that His earliest followers called themselves Nazarenes.

We, today, are also followers of Yeshua of Nazareth - Nazarenes. We believe in His salvation and endeavor to keep His commandments. Although working in a different medium than our Savior, we hope to provide the same quality craftsmanship in our leather goods as Yeshua undoubtedly provided as a carpenter. We do not seek a name for ourselves or our own glory.

We are simply Just a Nazarene.
