About Lumavel
Rooted in truth. Built on family. Grounded in faith.
A People-First Community.
Lumavel is a Christian company founded on Christian values of faith, service, integrity, compassion, stewardship, and community.
While our faith shapes who we are, we welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life. You do not have to share our faith to participate, belong, or build alongside us.
The Foundation
Lumavel was built by a family. In this picture is Tracy Oppermann, Lumavel's Founder and Chief Architect, alongside the woman who laid the foundation for it all: his mother. As our Director of Operations, she represents the unconditional support, the tireless work ethic, and the undeniable bond that only a mother and son can share. She taught us how to care, and that is the exact energy we pour into this company every single day.
The Heart and The Why
While we plan carefully for the long run, this is our entire world right here. Meet "The Heart" of Lumavel—our founder's wife. Her work happens away from the code: she is our steady support, the ultimate push, and the quiet strength behind every single thing we do. Beside us are our children. We are building software and spaces that are safe, honest, and good enough for them to inherit.
The real people behind the screen
We want you to see exactly who you are supporting when you join the Lumavel ecosystem. We are a real family who laughs, struggles, sets hard boundaries, and stands together no matter what.
Lumavel exists for people who feel unseen, overwhelmed, or left behind. We are building an ecosystem — community spaces, practical tools, and mission-driven projects — because everyone matters. Everything. Everywhere. Everyone.
Shopping Plaza is one path: a community-centered marketplace with a 3% platform fee when you sell (1.5% for Lifetime Partners), free product listings, and full customer ownership. Stripe processing is passed through. Commerce should be fair — and it is one path in a larger mission.
Lumavel is a family-first company rooted in faith. We believe business should serve people, honor families, and steward resources well, and we welcome every background as they are. We close on Sundays so our team can rest and be with the people they love.
Welcome to the family.
