Alvin I. Hobbs, born circa 1920, died N/A, was an American preacher and educator whose ministry within the Churches of Christ left a lasting impact through his preaching, teaching, and writing during the mid-20th century. Likely born in Texas, Hobbs grew up in a region where the Restoration Movement thrived, shaping his commitment to the non-denominational, Bible-centered ethos of the Churches of Christ. He pursued higher education at Abilene Christian College (now University), earning a degree that equipped him for a dual career in ministry and academia. His preaching began in local congregations, where his clear, practical expositions of scripture gained him recognition, eventually leading him to serve as a minister and faculty member at Abilene Christian College. Hobbs’ ministry extended beyond the pulpit through his prolific writing, including articles and sermons preserved in Restoration Movement archives like those at webfiles.acu.edu. His work often focused on Christian living, church doctrine, and the importance of adhering to New Testament patterns, reflecting the Churches of Christ’s emphasis on primitive Christianity. While specific personal details—such as exact birth and death dates or family life—remain scarce, his contributions to preaching and education within the movement are well-regarded.
