Evangelistic Reaching
We connect to the community through church-wide events and individual encounters that share the love of Christ whenever and wherever.
Strategic Sending
We know the church is an army relying on the Holy Spirit to lead us where He calls us.
Baptism is your public confession of repentance and announcement of putting your faith in Christ.
At Mount Olive, we baptize by immersion in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Christ and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
