Mt. Olive Baptist Church was organized in the spring of 1885 by four men. Mr. Abram Brunson, Mr. George Butler, Mr. Julius Brevard and Mr. Sony Brown Belton.
These four men decided that five miles was too far for the children to walk to Sunday School, and they erected a brush harbor between two Sweet Gum trees and two cedar posts. This arrangement was situated about 2 1/2 miles northwest of where the present church structure is now. The area was called the Quarter at that time, and they had their first service under the brush harbor on the first Sunday in May, 1885.
At Mt. Olive Baptist we welcome everyone and we love to fellowship not only on Sunday but any day to spread the love of Christ and get to know one another and share in the community. Come worship with us and check out the calendar to come to one of our events. We would love to have you!
