Gullion's began in April of 1992 as a booth in a flea market in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Our first shop, a 250 square foot old converted motel room in North Winston-Salem, was opened in August of 1993 which eventually grew to 6250 square feet.
   We then opened a branch in Walkertown, North Carolina in November of 1994. This store is located in the Centre Stage at Walkertown.
   Next, we opened our third store in a flea market in Statesville, North Carolina, in April of 1998. This location has also progressed to a regular store front shop in the Northwinds Plaza.
   In October 2001 we relocated our Winston-Salem store to King, North Carolina in the King Shopping Center, right off of Route 52 just North of Winston-Salem. This store continues to serve as the home office and processing center for all four stores.
   Our fourth and most recent store location is in Mt Airy North Carolina, just minutes from Virginia and the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
   We thank God for the opportunities He has given our family to serve Him, and pray that He will continue to do so.

   We seek to provide Bible-based, God-honoring materials for growth and evangelism to the saints of God and His church, and to do so with as much servanthood and as little compromise as possible by the grace of God.

   Let it be said at the outset that the standards that shape our business are in place due to our Bible-based understanding that we as God's servants will answer to Him for our handling of His Holy Scriptures, as well as for the influence that we have on our customers as well as the people that they influence with the materials we distribute.

The Bible
   Therefore, Gullion's sells only the old King James Bible, or the Authorized Version, as it is sometimes called. Upon request, we will gladly provide you with our rationale.

Books
   We have a preference for books that are based on the King James Bible, and avoid stocking authors that promote today's trends of ecumenism, worldly psychology, and charismatic excesses. We avoid being unduly influenced by the Christian bookstore industry's high-dollar advertising campaigns and prefer literature that has stood the test of time.

Health
   The Scripture teaches us that we are to be good stewards of everything God has entrusted to us, including our bodies. Our health is a gift from Him and it is sadly one of our most abused possessions.
   At Gullion's we encourage Christians to reclaim responsibility for their health from the pharmaceutical establishment. We distribute books, videos, and audios on the subject as well as a variety of whole food supplements, herbs, and juicers.

Homeschooling
   We carry a wide selection of new and used curriculum and materials to help parents fulfill their responsibility of training their children for God.
   We believe that each parent is ultimately responsible for their children's' education and the delegation of that responsibility to a school, whether public or private, does not absolve this responsibility in the least. With this thought in mind, we encourage you to do what should be done.

Used Books
   We buy, sell and trade used books at our King and Statesville stores, where there are several thousand books available for purchase. Please contact us for trade-in details.

Music
   This being one of the great battlegrounds in the churches' fight to remain separated from the world, as well as being the most difficult area in which to draw distinct lines, we offer the following styles of music:

Southern Gospel (with increasing reservation as the "industry" and the music slowly become more worldly) - We prefer the older, more conservative and God-honoring styles within this genre and promote them in our stores.

Bluegrass / Mountain Gospel - We have what is probably the widest selection of this format that you will ever find in one place. We prefer and promote, of course, the musicians that de-emphasize themselves and their "performance" but rather point to Christ in their ministry.

Sacred - We stock as much of this most God-honoring style as we can afford to, given the unfortunate lack of demand for it. We prefer to think of this music as the music of the church. Also included in this category would be the more conservative styles of what is called "praise and worship" music. We are aware of the ecumenical and charismatic influences that are in control of the more recent trends in this genre, and do all we can to avoid them.

Church Supplies, Teaching Aids, Gifts, and Greeting Cards
   Gullion's carries a wide but distinctive selection of these items, with the King James Bible being used when Scripture is quoted.

   Overall, we believe that you will find the materials on our shelves to match up with those on the shelves of most other Christian Bookstores by only a small percentage.
   We offer this distinctiveness to our customers as a part of our desire to honor the Lord in our business. If you are in agreement with our general principles, we unabashedly ask for your support. We will be honored to serve you! ~The Gullions
