Craig and Nan Upchurch here!

We own Nan’s Bethlehem Olive Wood Art & Jewelry in Saluda, South Carolina. Five years ago, God moved Nan’s heart and led her to work with olive wood from the birthplace of our Savior. Through faith and prayer, what began as a calling became a ministry expressed through art. Every piece is inspired by God’s Word, and each design is created with the hope of sharing His message and blessings with others.

There is no set plan when a new piece begins. Inspiration comes through Scripture and faith, allowing God’s guidance to shape each creation. Through this work, we have found peace, purpose, and the joy of serving Him. We believe it is through God’s blessings and His plan that we live in the greatest country the world has ever known—America, the shining city on a hill.

Why are we Patriots?

We love God, and we love America. As conservative Christians, our faith is the foundation of our lives and our business. We believe in the values that have made this nation strong: faith, freedom, personal responsibility, and love of country. We are grateful for the opportunities America provides and are proud to support and defend the principles that make our nation exceptional. God Bless America!
