Christian-owned business directory
Every business here is Christian-owned or led, personally vouched for, and serving Cookeville & the Upper Cumberland. No ads. No pay-to-play. Just neighbors you can trust.
Suggest a businessThis is the full list of Christian-owned businesses in Cookeville, Tennessee and the surrounding Upper Cumberland that we can personally vouch for. It’s grouped into four sections below: contractors and home services, health and wellness, food and drink, and faith resources.
The list is short on purpose. A business only appears after someone has met the owner and can speak to both their faith and their work. That keeps it small and slow-growing, which is the trade we’ve chosen — a directory you can actually rely on beats a directory that lists everybody. The full standard is on the about page, and you can also browse by category if that’s easier than scrolling.

Plenty of trades aren’t represented here yet. No plumber, no HVAC company, no dentist, no accountant, no auto shop. That doesn’t mean Cookeville lacks Christian owners in those fields — it means nobody has vouched for one yet.
If you know one, that’s exactly how this directory grows. Send us the name and we’ll take it from there. You can also read the stories behind the businesses already listed to get a sense of what we look for.
This list grows by word of mouth
