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 is to grow in faith and love
by spreading the Word
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Time: Following late service
Throughout the month of February, our youth will be collecting items to support Sharing God’s Love. A donation collection will be available in the narthex for canned soup, crackers, and spaghetti. As a kickoff to this effort, the youth will be preparing and serving soup, cornbread, desserts, and drinks on February 8 following the late service. A suggested donation of $1 per bowl of soup will be requested. All proceeds, along with the donated food items, will be donated to Sharing God’s Love. Thank you for your generosity and support of our youth and this important ministry. If contributing by check, please make it payable to Sharing God’s Love.
Midweek Bible Study – Wednesdays through February 11, 2026

Midweek classes will be held each week through February 11. We will be studying the Book of Philippians. Everyone is invited to join in as we focus on studying God’s Word and share in faith and fellowship together.
Sharing God’s Love Yard Sale – Saturday, April 18, 2026
With winter still here, now is the perfect opportunity to declutter and clean out your closets! We accept items such as: vintage items, books, craft supplies, DVDs (kids), dishes, electronics, frames, board games, home decor, household items, glassware, jewelry, wall hangings, purses, puzzles, sports equipment, toys (new and used). All proceeds from the yard sale will go directly to Sharing God’s Love, a non-profit cooperative ministry. Our organization assists local families in our community who are facing emergencies related to basic living needs. The event will take place regardless of weather conditions, so come rain or shine it is scheduled for April 18, 2026.
