What to Expect on your visit

From the moment you step through the doors, we’re here to help answer any questions and ensure your visit is smooth and enjoyable. No matter your background or where you are in your faith journey, you belong at Olivet Baptist Church. We look forward to meeting you!

What does a typical service look like?2024-12-17T19:42:30+00:00

When you walk into Olivet, you are greeted with genuine love, warm hearts, and most of all, the presence of the Lord. The congregation warmly welcomes everyone with open arms.

It is a small church with great love. Traditional hymns and special music prepare hearts for the Bible focused message. As the service ends, an altar call is always provided to offer the gift of salvation, church membership, or to meet the needs of the congregation through prayer. As the spirit of the Lord works through the sermon, hearts are changed and you leave with the full armor of God, prepared to serve the Lord.

Come as you are, feel loved, be blessed, and leave renewed by the Holy Spirit.
