Let
me be the first to welcome you to the Mount Olivet Baptist
Church Web Site. We
are happy to have you and we are committed to presenting the message of Jesus
Christ to the world.
In
spite of our diversity, a common purpose unites us. We are called to be His
People, and seek daily to live, work, and worship in His divine will. His
plan and purpose is so unique and awesome, that we admonish all to surrender to
it. Regardless of our differences, backgrounds, or past experiences, God
promises to do a NEW thing in us..."NOW it shall spring
forth"... God is strengthening His people everywhere to serve with
the utmost compassion to the world.
We
believe in ministering to the whole person, Body, Soul, and Spirit. We
believe in teaching the Word of God in such a manner that people understand its practical
application in their daily lives.
We
believe that tithing and giving generously to the work of God is obedient
giving. We experience corporate blessings and prosperity when we, the
church as a whole, become obedient to this command of God -- Otherwise, we live
under a financial curse as a church and fail in fulfilling the plan of God for
our lives.
It
is my prayer that as you view this web site, you will allow God to give you a
vision of what your personal call to serve the ministry should be. God
loves you so much, He is bound to encourage you to share that love with
others. Here at Mt. Olivet, we believe the Bible teaches and encourages
ministry. We also believe that every person is given at least one
gift. After accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, our gifts are unveiled for
His glory and honor. At this church, after training our members through
the Spiritual Gifts Workshops, we strongly encourage them to participate on
those areas wherein they are gifted.
We
are excited about "Doing It God's Way"... In our Growth, Education,
Giving, and Spiritual Maturity. It is my prayer that we will continue to
follow the vision that God has given me as the servant of this wonderful
church. As the Holy Spirit leads, I will follow. Let us walk
together in the light of the Master's love.
Love, Peace and Joy!
