It’s simple really, we love youth pastors.
T-shirts are simply a way for us to serve.
We are creative, crazy and expressive all for you.
In 1993, Bill Clinton was president, Whitney Houston was singing “I will always love you” and Steve and Heather Hooper were starting an apparel imprinting company called Taylormade Creations, Inc in honor of their first born son Taylor later to be known as Stuph Clothing. It was the beginning of a dream. Three years later Uth Stuph would be founded with amazing designer and fellow youth pastor, Chip Davis.
Steve himself had served as a youth pastor and new firsthand the challenges and demands that only someone else in ministry can understand. Having this knowledge he wanted to devote himself to serving Youth Pastors and their creative needs. As a result in 1996, Uth Stuph the brand was born. It was a historic year.
Imagining a company that was so much more than a company. A company where relationships took precedent over profits, where encouragement and inspiration had to be the deliverables, where each and every employee would understand that what they did simultaneously had nothing and everything to do with t-shirts.
That was 17 years ago. A lot has changed since then from design to technology even our warehouse location but there has always been one constant, one guiding principle: Love Youth Pastors.
In April of 2009, Steve and Heather went on a mission’s trip to Haiti with their family (hands and feet project) and it left them forever changed. Upon their return back to the states they purposed to leverage Stuph Clothing’s resources to change this world. Thus resulting in a company wide initiative named “Change This World.”
In November 2009 the entire advisory team of Stuph Clothing began putting together the foundation for a new Non Profit corporation called Change This World, Inc. The focus is to live out a life of love. Feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, clothing the needy, providing shelter, etc…
Putting words into action they opened a Kids Against Hunger satellite within their warehouse. Now at 7:59am each morning their staff, from upper management to production artist, gathers together to start the day by packaging food that is sent to starving children all over the world. This food is scientifically formulated to combat the effects of starvation on the human body. We focus primarily on Haiti, Africa and India.
In addition to partnering with Kids Against Hunger they also partner with Hays Pure Water For All Foundation (http://hayspurewaterforallfoundation.com). John Hays is the inventor of a water purification system that uses salt and any water to create a water purifying solution that kills all bacteria, typhoid, cholera, and parasites in water. These water units can provide safe drinking water for as many as 5,000 people a day for the REST OF THEIR LIVES.
Every time anything is purchased from Uth Stuph we donate a meal
and put money towards purchasing water purification units.
“To people who desire real relationships in business, Stuph Clothing is the brand that consistently delivers excellence through the printing of apparel with innovative design, world famous quality, turnaround and client care.”
