How We Got Started
Hobe Sound Community Presbyterian Church began as a Sunday School in 1925 with 34 people. The Presbyterian Church USA, Synod of Florida was soon asked to organize the group into a church, which was done in January 1926 with 50 members. Services were held in several locations, including at a school house. In 1931 a building fund was established. By June of 1934, the church had raised $2,000 and resolved to start construction of a church building. A lot on the corner of Adonis St. and Juno Crescent Circle was donated, and construction began.
In the charter of incorporation, formulated in 1934, the church was named The Hobe Sound Community Church. The Trustees were recognized as having the chief authority. On March 11, 1935 a service of Dedication was held for the new church building. The church was served only on a stated supply basis, with the Pastor preaching only in the evening and lived elsewhere where he also served the Stuart Church. When he left at the end of 1938 the church had lost members and was so without funds that the members decided to discontinue the services of a minister and close the church.
For two years the church was closed. In the spring of 1940 the Presbytery sent a representative to the Church to see if it could possibly be reopened. The Presbytery offered $200 for this purpose, and with this and the small honorarium of $5 per Sunday for a minister, the church tried again to hold regular services. Consistent ministry for a few years resulted in membership growth and financial improvement. With much of the labor and materials contributed by Church members and the people of the community, the manse was constructed in 1947. In 1948, under the guidance of a new pastor, a new charter was drawn up, accepted by Presbytery, and the Church was then enrolled under the name “Hobe Sound Community Presbyterian Church.”
