Women usually wear a modest dress or skirt with appropriate top. Our main goal is that all feel welcome and comfortable worshiping at Mt. Olivet.

Where do my Kids go?
There is a nursery available for children ages 3 and below. Children aged 4 through 5th grade are invited to children's church during Sunday Morning Worship. Teens are encouraged to join us in the main sanctuary for all services.
I'm not a Baptist; can I still attend services at Mt. Olivet?
Anyone who seeks to know more about the Lord may attend our services. You do not need to be a Baptist or even come from a Baptist background; we make it easy for anyone wanting to know more about Christ, the Bible, and church by focusing our teaching and preaching solely on the Word of God. We are a friendly congregation and all we want is for you to worship with us.
What if I have a different Bible Translation?
Mt. Olivet uses the King James Version as a standard for teaching and preaching within the church. If you have a different translation, please bring it anyway to help you follow along with the sermon.
Will I have to give to the offering?
The offering is a time for members of Mt. Olivet (those who call Mt. Olivet home) to give back to God for the blessings they have received from Him. If you want to give, please feel free but you will not be expected to.
