Hobbs Worship
Churches abound in Lea County, reflective of the close-knit communities with focus on family values and spiritual worship. In the pioneer days, one building might have served as both a schoolhouse during the week with it becoming the worship center on the weekend.
In fact, except for the post office and the school, one of the first buildings to appear in Lea County communities was a permanent church building.
Today, each city in Lea County revolves around conservative religious values represented by the various religious denominations and supported by an active congregation. Spiritual worship remains an important part of the community, and those seeking a religious home can choose from several dozen churches of all denominations.
The spiritual community shows its support by working hand-in-hand with such out-reach programs as the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity. Many churches sponsor singles groups, youth programs, musical opportunities, vacation Bible schools, missionary work and ecumenical activities during special services at Christmas and Easter.
Sunday morning in Lea County finds many of its residents in small groups studying the Bible during Sunday School and then worshiping together as a church family.
