What to Expect

Services

Each Sunday service lasts approximately one hour. Wednesday services are 45 minutes to one hour.

Come as You Are

We don't care what clothes you wear. You'll find us in a range from casual to dressy. Feel free to wear whatever you are most comfortable in.

Communion

All are welcome to the table at Olivet. As Jesus is the host, all are welcome to participate in Holy Communion. We believe that Jesus actually shows up when we gather to eat this meal, therefore, we practice an Open Table.

We Love Kids

A noisy sanctuary is a sign of a growing church. Children are welcome to attend any of the worship services. Mom and Dad need a break? We also have a nursery available during all worship service times for children ages 6 weeks to 3 years of age.

Parking

Our main entrance is located on the east side of the building. There is a parking lot directly outside of those doors. However, that lot tends to fill up so there is additional parking on the north side of the church with entrances available on those sides as well.

Fellowship

We want to get to know you. You'll likely find many of our members smile and greet you as you arrive. You will not be pressured into introducing yourself or announcing that you are a visitor. So come in, relax and know we are excited you are here. If you'd like to get to know us, we have fellowship time between services from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. Typically, there is Learning & Sharing in the Fellowship Hall where a presenter from the community is keeping us up-to-date on local events and services. You'll also find many people relaxing, enjoying a cup of coffee and visiting with friends on our couches and chairs throughout the atrium.

Sandy's Donuts

Did we mention there are donuts? Every Sunday, we offer donuts from Sandy's donuts and coffee in the Fellowship Hall for a freewill donation.

Sacred Ground Coffee Shop

We have our own coffee shop right in the atrium. Warm up with a latte or a hot chocolate or cool down with a fruit smoothie, Italian soda or a frappe. Mention you're a first time visitor and you'll receive a free drink! On Wednesdays, you can beat the Confirmation rush by stopping by before 6:30 p.m. The coffee shop is open from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. on Sundays and 5:30 – 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.
