As pioneer towns were established, the first permanent  structure to be built was a house of worship.  Friona offers the opportunity for worship in one of its twelve churches.  These communities of faith give residents and visitors a chance to experience worship in a wide variety of styles.

Volunteerism may be expressed in may ways in Friona.  Several active civic organizations support special projects and the community by participating in several community-wide events throughout the year.

The Chamber of Commerce coordinates several community-wide celebrations throughout the year including the annual Maize Days event which offers a variety of activities from the Miss Friona Pageant to the Parade and barbecue meal.  Independence Day brings a celebration in the Park.
