Our Heart's Mission
The Olivet Baptist Family takes our mission seriously because loving God, loving people and making disciples by sharing the love of Jesus is His desire for us.
Christ's Command to Love
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
(Matthew 22:37–39, ESV)
Christ's Command to Make Disciples
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:19–20, ESV)
