World Missions

Olivet believes in Missions.
We take seriously the Great Commission the Lord gave us: ”Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

We support Missions.
A large portion of Olivet’s annual finances go to missions, which we trust God to provide. We currently support 16 missionaries and 10 ministry organizations and we pray for our missionaries regularly.

We promote Missions.
We seek to keep our missionaries and their concerns in front of the congregation through a weekly Missionary focus, missions Sundays, and drop-in updates from missionaries we support.
