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.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Backpack and School Supply Drive – Now through Sunday, August 9, 2026
One simple way we can support families during difficult times is by helping provide school supplies for students in need. Beginning next weekend, we will host a Backpack and School Supply Drive in partnership with Sharing God’s Love, which will distribute backpacks and supplies to students throughout the Columbia area. Children and youth from Kindergarten through High School will benefit from your generosity. Because backpacks will be distributed by grade level rather than by gender, please purchase gender-neutral items in solid colors. Please avoid character-themed items such as Hello Kitty or superheroes. Donations may be placed in the collection container in the narthex through August 9. Thank you for helping us care for students in our community. – Social Ministry Board
Beginner Music Lessons – Beginning Sunday, June 7, 2026
Time: Approximately 9:00 AM
Renee will be teaching very basic beginner music to anyone 10 years old and older who would like to learn or have a refresher! We will keep it very short so participants can get to Sunday School or Bible Study by 9:20 AM. We will be using the hand chimes and hope to have a basic song to play later this summer. Please contact Renee Harper for more information.
Fireflies Baseball – Friday, August 28, 2026
Come join us at the ballpark for some fun fellowship on August 28. Seats will be $11.00 and this includes a Fireflies baseball hat. For tickets please contact Stacy Kolb. Ticket purchases need to be finalized by Monday, August 24.
