Service
A Light for Our Path
God has blessed each and every one of us with various gifts and abilities to perform as members of Christ's body. In so doing, God has also called us to use our time and talents in loving service to our Savior and fellow person. As the light for our path, Jesus has provided the ultimate roadmap to serve the people of this world by caring for both their spiritual and physical wellbeing. In accordance with God's plan, Mount Olive seeks to identify and engage the unique qualities each of us has been blessed with to glorify our loving Lord.

Spirtual Gifts

Besides the gifts of faith, forgiveness, and eternal life, God has also given to each Christian special spiritual gifts. He invites us to make use of these gifts in our lives of service to Him and to our neighbor.

Linked below are a couple of tools to help you identify the gifts you have been blessed with and connect them with the various opportunities to exercise those gifts in service to your Savior at Mount Olive.

Gifts and Memorials

Have you ever had the desire to make a gift to God ...

In memory of a departed friend or loved one?
In honor of an anniversary, birthday, baptism or confirmation?
In thanksgiving for God's grace and blessings to you or your family

Sometimes when Christians desire to make such gifts, over and above their regular offerings to church, they are interested in directing their gifts toward "special" non-budgetary projects or funds.

Linked are a list of funds for which Mount Olive is currently encouraging such gifts to be given. Some funds are continuous, providing "on-going" support to a particular area of ministry. Other funds are for "one-time" projects.
