The mission of Mount Olivet Lutheran Church of Plymouth’s Council is to provide leadership that empowers the staff and the congregation to do ministry; and ensures the health and vitality of the church today and for the future.

The Council will be stewards of the vision, mission, convictions and values to which we have been called, and will be committed to providing governance, actionable values and purposes, spiritual wellness and communication to the congregation.
