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.

The Youth Group is raffling off two delightful baskets this month. Celebrate the 250th birthday of our country with a 4th of July themed basket that includes tumblers, snacks, a silicon bag that’s great for the beach and a kite. Or you can try your luck with a Sweet Treats themed basket that comes with a recipe book, ice cream bowls, popsicle molds, a variety of syrups, and a Handles ice cream shop gift card. You can check out additional items in each of the baskets which are located in the narthex. Tickets are on sale all month after Sunday services. One ticket is $5.00 or improve your chances with five tickets for $20.00. The drawing will be after the late service on June 28. Proceeds go toward their next National Youth Group gathering.
