We warmly invite you to worship with us and join our walk with God.
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:
Still teaching the unchangeable
Word of Christ.

Journey to Bethlehem Volunteers Needed – Friday, December 11, 2026
Time: 6:00-8:00 PM
This is the second year of a planned 5-year sustainable and repeatable program with a different theme and different crafts or souvenirs each year meant to provide children with a varied experience and reminders that encourage their walk with the Lord. Last year, the theme was “our own Journey to Jesus.” This year, it is the Lord’s journey to us, the Lord seeking us out. Be a part of this ambitious effort! We need many hands to make this a success. The Volunteer Sign Up sheet is in the narthex. You can also sign up to volunteer or register your child’s participation at vbsmate.com.

Prayerfully consider how you can share your time and talents at Mt. Olive in 2027. Please complete your form and return it by December 6.

Your responses will help us plan for 2027. If you have any questions, please contact Kevin Kibler, Stewardship Chairperson.
