Mount Olivet began a journey in 2013 to open our hearts and minds, and connect more deeply with God’s word, to each other, and to our broader community, we were able to discern our vision and hear the Holy Spirit’s call.

We knew then, as we know today, that we cannot stay the same. We must continue to learn, grow, and evolve—to step out in faith, build community, and lean into God’s future.

Our journey and outward focus introduces us to new people and pushed us to new places. As we began to better grasp our community’s needs and challenges, relationships with other organizations formed. This gave us a greater understanding of our role in the community—and our responsibility to the community.
