One business that is striving to further the Kingdom of God is Hobby Lobby. Very outspoken on his family’s faith, Hobby Lobby CEO David Green makes it a priority to give his employees and customers the best experience in all aspects. One major way that Hobby Lobby’s management is outspoken about its Christian beliefs is the nationwide closing of all stores on Sundays. This gives time “allowing associates time for family and for worship.” (newsroom.hobbylobby.com).

Another way that Hobby Lobby’s management factors in their faith is in their mission statement stated below on their main website hobbylobby.com.

“We Are Committed To

  • Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.
  • Offering our customers exceptional selection and value.
  • Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work environment and company policies that build character, strengthen individuals, and nurture families.
  • Providing a return on the family’s investment, sharing the Lord’s blessings with our employees, and investing in our community.”

Hobby Lobby is a great example of what it looks like for a massive chain-store putting its values before anything. The Christian principles that Hobby Lobby follows are very evident throughout their stores, including employee interactions and even the music being played in the store. Overall, Hobby Lobby and it’s leaders are able to run an extremely successful hobby store while still making sure that the Kingdom of God comes first.
