About Ephesians Two Grace

Eli Garman: Christian, Runner, Founder of ETG

Purpose

By Grace, through Faith

Our purpose at Ephesians Two Grace (ETG) is to design creative and trendy clothing and accessories that help start a conversation around the gift of salvation by God's grace through faith.

We want the whole world to know that we are made alive in Christ and that, despite our background, our mistakes, our shortcomings, our failures, and flaws, we are loved, we are saved, we are redeemed.

History

I wanted to start a Christian clothing line to help spread the good news of salvation through God’s love and grace through faith.

My mom and I immediately started brainstorming potential brand names and began looking specifically for Bible verses that speak about grace.

One of the very first verses we read was Ephesians 2:4-5:

“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in transgressions– it is by grace you have been saved.”

Not only did we find the perfect verse, but we also realized that the initials from the idea of Ephesians Two Grace, perfectly align with my initials, ETG, which then led to the creation of the brand logo.

Even though I don't want this to be about me (it's all about spreading the message!), I thought I would tell you a little about myself.

I'm currently a high school freshman who loves sports, music, and definitely socializing.

I have been feeling really close with God and was recently baptized. This was such an inspirational moment for me. I love seeing how many youth - and really people of all ages - are committing their lives to Jesus. My baptism was especially awesome for me because I was baptized by my good friend and small group leader, Landon.

Three of my favorite worship songs are "Firm Foundation," Gratitude," "Glorious Day."
