HOPE CROSSING.

When you walk into Hope Crossing Christian Books and Gifts you’ll notice right away that honoring Christ is the most important goal in Jeanie Green and Dottie McGinty’s lives. Jeannie and Dottie grew up in Marion and enjoy the small town feeling it has. The locally owned book and gift store is located in the Charleston Place. Charleston Place is very calm and soothing when you walk in. You will be greeted by a decorative fountain, soft music and you’ll feel like you’re walking through a quaint village of shops.

June 1st is Hope Crossing’s seven-year anniversary in Downtown Marion. Outreach and ministry for the people of Marion is very evident in the hearts of Dottie and Jeanie at Hope Crossing Christian Books and Gifts.
