Social Ministry
In addition to our focus on the ministry to our members and guests, Mount Olive also participates in several ministries to help those in our local and world-wide community. These ministries focus on the great commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves and, as St. Paul said, "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2).
