Faith and worship have always been a big part of community life in Mokena. More than 150 years ago, the area’s earliest leaders placed high importance on worship, establishing several houses of worship in the community – most of which maintain a presence in the area. Today, these longstanding congregations have been joined by many modern religious institutions – together forming a strong and welcoming spiritual community.
Mokena is also proud of its large group of active residents who regularly participate in area nonprofit clubs and organizations. Mokena hosts branches of the Jaycees, Lions Club, Woman’s Club and VFW, along with a medley of locally established organizations. Volunteer opportunities are also available through several village committees and commissions. These groups work hard to foster strong community ties, provide leadership and offer aid to those in need.
