Our Beliefs

We believe that there is only one true God.

We believe that there is only one true God. We believe that he has made himself known as the Triune God, one God in three persons and that God has given us the full revelation of himself in his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus is that unique person in whom the true God and a true human nature are inseparably united in one.

We believe that Jesus Christ was sent by the Father to save all people from sin, Satan, and everlasting death.

He lived a perfect life and took upon himself the sins of the whole world.

Through his perfect life and innocent death, his righteousness is accepted by the Father as our righteousness and his death for sin as our death for sin.

We believe that his resurrection on Easter gives full assurance that God has accepted Jesus’ work of salvation in our behalf.

We believe that it is the Holy Spirit who brings the blessings of Christ’s work to people.

It is the Holy Spirit working through the God-given means of the Gospel in the Word and the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion that forgiveness of sins is received, and that faith is given and strengthened.

our worship

Every church has its own style of worship. We think you’ll enjoy the services at Mt. Olive, but as in any church, it may take a couple of Sundays to become accustomed to our way of praising God and proclaiming what he has done. Each week the service is printed in the worship folder. All the Scripture readings, hymns, and prayers are printed there for you. You are certainly welcome to bring along your own Bible and follow along if you choose.

Worship at Mt. Olive is liturgical worship; that is, it follows a pattern of worship – the liturgy – used in the Christian Church for almost 2,000 years. Our worship services have one major theme taken from the Scripture Readings for a given week. The sermon, hymns, and prayers all strive to focus on that theme.

You’re welcome to visit us in person anytime! Our Events page will always have an updated schedule of worship events, but services are normally held on Thursdays at 6:30 PM and on Sundays at 9 AM. If you can’t join us in person, take a moment to check out a Livestream of worship on Sundays at 9 AM or watch an archived service at your convenience.
