Membership + Baptism

Are you wanting more information about being baptized or transferring membership? Please see Pastor Fred or Pastor Gail for more information. We will line up baptism and/or membership classes for you.

Brethren practice “Believer’s Baptism” which is the practice that to have a true confession of faith one must be of age to recognize their need for Christ. As infants are not able to come to this recognition, infant baptism is not recognized by the Brethren.  In place of Infant Baptism the Brehtren practice Dedication of infants.

Dedication

Parents of newborns who wish to have them dedicated to the Lord may contact Pastor Fred about such a service.  It is typically held during worship services and the parents, newborn and other family members are invited to the front of the sanctuary.  Parents pledge their efforts to raise the child in the ways of the Lord and receive the same pledge from the congregation.

Anointing

Brethren belive in the practice of anointing as described in James 5:13-17.  During an anointing service, an elder of the church (Pastors Fred, Gail or David) with assistance of our deacons anoint a person suffering from an illness.  The service consists of an anointing with oil followed by the offering of prayers.  This service can be performed at the church, the hospital or your home.

Prayer Chain

We maintain a prayer chain so that our members can be in prayer for those in our congregation and those connected to them.  If you would like to add a request our chain please send us a message.

Volunteer

We always have opertunities to volunteer with the ministries here at Mt. Olive.  All volunteers must first complete a Volunteer Screening form which can be found here.  This form can be turned into the person coordinating the event you would like to volunteer for to start the process.
