Mission Statement…
The Triune God who brought Israel out of Egypt, and who raised Jesus Christ
from
the dead, is our “Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.”
Olivet Congregational Church is a community in Jesus Christ dedicated to the
service of God. Enlivened and guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to grow in faith,
fellowship, and service as we:
- Gather regularly to worship God in word and sacrament, with liturgy
rich in the language and music of our living Christian heritage.
- Fulfill our baptismal vows by steeping ourselves and our children in
the biblical tradition through prayer and study, reading and meditation,
teaching and example.
- Care for one another, serving our community, and reaching out to those
in need.
- Rejoice in the splendid variety of the human family; seeking to understand
with respect and reverence the insights of those whose convictions differ
from our own.
- Welcome all who wish to worship.
- Pledge to be faithful stewards of God’s abundant gifts.
