Nurses

Praise and Worship Ministry
“Make A Joyful Noise Unto The Lord, All Ye Lands Psalm 100:1”
The praise and worship ministries primary objective here at Olivet MBC is to glorify God in praise for what He has done and worship Him for who He is; as well as showing it in our actions to do it well.
As a ministry we strive with excellence to always give God the best praise possible. (Psalm 9:14) Our Objective for every Sunday is to bring the congregation into the presence of God and to set the atmosphere for the preaching of the Word of God with the ultimate goal of changing lives to see His Glory. (Romans 12 1-2). We are taught orchestrated and designed to inspire encourage and motivate anyone we are placed before, but most of is not only our responsibility but our enjoyment to express to anyone who is a believer and non believer the reason as to why we praise Him, why we must praise Him and why we continually praise to this day.
All forms of worship are welcomed they be by voice body instrument media or behind the scenes work, all are welcome all are invited to come express themselves in decent and in order (1 Corinthians 14:40). We are always looking forward to YOU coming join us here at Olivet Missionary Baptist Church and jumping into something greater than you!

Young Adult Ministry – Rev. Thomas Garner
Ephesians 6:10-18
At the Olivet MBC God has brought up a group of young people between the ages of (19-28) who are willing and ready to serve Him! The main objective as a Young Adult Ministry is to give God all of the Glory by producing fruit through our service, love and dedication for the Ministry of Jesus Christ.
In the Word of God, the Apostle Paul informed us all to put on the full armor of God so that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. (Ephesians 6:13)
With that being said, as a Young Adult Ministry we are reminded to always keep our armor polished for day to day spiritual warfare. As young adults we are constantly attacked, approached and sometimes deceived by the different things that the world has to offer, but through the POWER of the Holy Spirit we are able to fight through the many battles that we are faced with on a day to day basis as young people. We are able to stay spiritually grounded in the Word of God with knowledge and Godly wisdom because of our Young Minister who follows leadership and direction from our Pastor who ultimately follows the guidance of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
One of our primary goals is not only to lead by example but also show other Young Adults around the world that it is ok to serve God and also have a good time in our social lives. Since we are Bible Believing Christians we wholeheartedly believe in true fellowship among others who are believers as well as non-believers. Therefore we always have Young Adult activities such as bowling, going out to eat, Bible Studies and MORE!
Come be a part of a group of Young believers who LOVE God in spite of our current situation!
