Are you looking for a church home? Our heartfelt desire is to embrace all people in the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35)
The Mt. Olive congregation is made up of people who live throughout the greater Columbia area and the Midlands. Folks travel from as far as Lexington, Newberry, Elgin, and Orangeburg to worship each Sunday.
Visit us for worship this Saturday or Sunday and experience a service that focuses on worshiping the Triune God with the traditional liturgy of the Church, inspirational hymns, and Holy Communion.
Our mission is to grow in faith and love
by spreading the Word
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Time: 1:30 or 7:00 PM
This class will be on Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. A short little letter, written to what many call “Paul’s favorite church.” The book is sometimes deeply theological, sometimes it’s earthy and practical. Join us to read through this important New Testament book.
Midweek Bible Study – Thursday, January 16 – February 27, 2025
Time: 7:00 PM
An additional midweek Bible Study will begin on Thursdays where you can discover the rich history between the Old and New Testaments! Pastor Ford will guide us through the 400 years of silence, the rise of religious sects like the Pharisees and Sadducees, the influence of Greek culture, and the Roman political landscape that shaped the world Jesus entered.
Theology in Film Night – Friday, January 17, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM
Join us for an unforgettable evening as we watch the epic classic Ben-Hur!
