Mardel Christian & Education

Love this place! Low prices, friendly Christian environment, great selection. Wonderful gifts for teachers, newlyweds, babies and many others. I find most of my music here.

I love me some Mardel! The music section is where I spend 90% of my time and money here. However, the book section is very good and rather large for the building. They have a wide variety of books to choose from as well as Bibles. Props on the book department. The Christian Education part is probably good too. The few times I’ve looked over in that area, I always see a lot of school things, supplies, text books, poster boards and the likes. Probably really helpful if you are a stay at home mom and not a 21 year old musician… ;-)
Okay, the Music! I love the selection they have! From Gospel, Urban, Hip-​Hop, Rap, Worship, Contemporary Worship, Contemporary, Rock, Southern… they’ve got it all! They have such a huge selection of accompaniment tracks too! Which is what I frequented as a high schooler doing singing competitions. There WERE 4 listening rooms for practicing songs you’ve selected. As I’ve returned lately, Mardel is starting to support awesome Christian Clothing. Not stupid ones, like they always have. So, they’ve turned the bigger listening room into a fitting room. They offer shirts, jeans, shoes and accessories for guys and girls. Very cool. There are about 10 CD players spaced out at the bar sitting area for your listening pleasure. They ALSO have song books AND DVDS! Song books from various artists with their music in it and various worship song books. Their DVD selection used to consist of very cheesy Christian comedian DVD’s and cheesy Christian movies. There’s a great movement in Christian film and it’s producing some pretty decent movies. Mardel has a very nice selection of movies for purchase as well. I’m really loving this store. The bathrooms have always been very clean too.
The staff are always so nice and very helpful. For the past 5 to 6 years I’ve been shopping there, I still recognize the upper management. You know that’s a good sign when management and employees stay for such a long time.
I really love this store. I started to give it 4 star, but I think I’ll honor this establishment with a 5! Congrats Mardel!
