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: 6:00 – 10:00 PM
Location: Lexington High School
Mt. Olive Luthern Church will have a team, The Marching Saints, participate as we join in the Fight Against Cancer Relay for Life Event. Cancer touches nearly every family and, as you know, the effects are felt far beyond physical illness. By coming together at events like this, we show support not only for those battling cancer but also for survivors and caregivers who inspire us with their resilience and strength. Our team leaders, Tina Dixon and Mary Keller, have participated in several leadership meetings, and are excited to have you join Relay for Life and walk with us and, if you wish, contribute to support the Marching Saints team in this worthy cause. See the Relay for Life Flyer for more information to sign up to participate or contribute. More details will be published in the coming weeks.
