Each Sunday morning the congregation gathers to worship at 9:30.  The service is relaxed and we invite people to come as they are.  Our goal each Sunday morning is to use the gifts of many people within the congregation to create a worship service that is honoring to God and ushers people into His presence. 

Following the service there are snacks and hot beverages for people to enjoy and fellowship over. 

Sunday School follows at 11:00.  There are Sunday School classes for all ages.  For many Olive attendees, Sunday School is not only a chance to connect and fellowship with other believers but a chance to dig into scripture and its application in daily lives.

The Contemporary Worship Service is planned and led by Olive’s Young Adults and typically occurs once a month on Sunday Evenings.  Check the calendar or Upcoming Church Activities.  The service is at 6:30pm, with coffee available at 6:15.
