our story
the seedOur story begins, not as a clothing label, but from a simple instruction. During one of our family drives, Track 5 of our new Terry MacAlmon - The Sound of Heaven CD was playing. Dad turned to us and said, "We will learn this song for you all to sing at church this Sunday."
And so we did.
Every day that week, we practiced as a family, standing in our ordered positions, familiarising ourselves with how to hold our microphones, memorising the lyrics, and learning how to blend harmonies. We were just kids, ages 6 to 13, learning a song to stand before our church and declare our love for Jesus.
When Sunday evening arrived, we got up and sang our first worship song together. This was the beginning of a lifelong commitment to ministering to God and serving in ministry
the secret placeIn 2008, we relocated to Australia, and ministry remained our heartbeat. From the very start, we found our place in the church. We began in worship and then stepped into every area of church life: teaching in Sunday school, preaching, running sound, managing creatives, projecting lyrics, serving in the kitchen, church setups. Everything there is to do in the church, we did. For over fifteen years, God kept us hidden in active service, quietly shaping our gifts and our character in the secret place.
In 2024, our path shifted. one by one, we stepped away from formal ministry to focus entirely on our personal walks with God. But in this season, a profound conviction took hold for each of us: what God places in our hands should never remain idle, nor should it be withheld from others.
With a desire to steward our gifts and put them back to work, we began laying the groundwork for Atelia Ministry.
the heartThis very posture sparked a deep desire within us. We wanted clothing that would make known the King we serve, the Lord we magnify, and the truth of the Gospel we carry. We wanted it to be the outerwear of our heart, to wear the Word the exact same way we were trying to live the Word and be the Word.
Today, our mandate is to lead people into the presence of God in total surrender and pure worship, and to spread the Gospel to all nations. We are doing this by creating clothing for everyday wear, acting as physical reminders to us of the God we serve.
the callWe are not here to encourage a passive relationship with Jesus. we want to urge ourselves and all believers to break away from casual Christianity and to live with deep conviction, pursue His absolute excellence, and embody the true character of God in everyday life.
So This is for the one. For the One we serve. For the one who is called. For the one who surrenders. For the one who worships. For the one who goes out to make disciples. For the one who needs to come home.
be blessed and follow the lord with us. god is so good!
the realityComing out of a sheltered ministry environment, it was a profound shock to confront the reality of a lukewarm culture where people claim Christ but live entirely on their own terms, serving as their own judge and lord. We are not perfect, and we all fall short of God’s glory, but we refuse to tolerate compromise. We do our absolute best to align our lives strictly with the Word. We were raised, not as performers or entertainers, but as true worshippers after Gods own heart. trusting in him as we step onto completely unfamiliar platforms, we are ready to be used exactly as He pleases.
