A Note from Jenny

Jenny Barreau

Christ Before Me began as a desire to create beautiful things while keeping Christ at the center. As a wife and mother, that vision naturally extended into other areas of life — from a modest bridal collection to a classical school collection for children. My prayer is that everything we create serves as a quiet reminder to abide in Him, and to seek what is true, good, and beautiful.

A faith-centered space to encourage hearts, share truth, and keep Jesus at the center of everyday life.
This is not just a brand—it’s a ministry.
A place where faith is lived, shared, and reflected in daily life. Everything shared here is created as an extension of my faith—not just for selling, but for encouraging others in Christ.

Founded by Jenny Barreau
Hi, I’m Jenny 🤍
I’m a mother, and most importantly, a woman learning to put Christ before everything.
This space was not built out of ambition—but out of obedience.
Through my journey, especially raising my daughters, God has been teaching me what it truly means to walk by faith, not by fear.
“Christ Before Me” is a reflection of that walk.
Not perfection—just surrender.
My heart is simple:
To encourage others to keep Jesus at the center, even in the everyday, unseen moments of life.

Christ Before Me — Classical School Collection
The Classical School Satchel
Christ Before Me began as an expression of faith—a desire to create beautiful things while keeping Christ at the center.
As a mother, that vision naturally followed me into another part of life: preparing my children for school.
I wanted a school bag that felt timeless and dignified, but was also practical enough for a child’s everyday life. From that desire came the Christ Before Me Classical School Satchel.
Designed with a structured silhouette, comfortable backpack straps, organized storage and thoughtful details, each satchel carries a quiet reminder inside:
“Abide in me, and I in you.” — John 15:4
Created for children as they learn, grow, and encounter what is true, good, and beautiful.
