Finding our place in God's unfolding story. We do this through our core commitments of dwelling in God, connecting in community, and engaging in our callings.

One of our core commitments is Connecting in Community, whether it be connecting people here at Mount Olivet with each other, or inviting/going out and making relationships with those outside our faith community!
 

God in the three persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is at work through the community of believers (the church) sustaining, saving and transforming the world. All believers are saved by God for the purpose of participating in God's mission in the world. We participate by the power of the Holy Spirit, which is God's active presence in the world and in believers (1 Peter 2:9-10, Galatians. 5:13, John 20:21). Our involvement is threefold: 


We join in God's sustaining work by striving for justice and peace, charity and care of creation (Micah 6:8, Amos 5:24, Romans 14:17);
We witness to God's saving work, that others may enter into a life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8);
We participate in God's transforming work which re-creates individuals and communities as a new creation based on love and a right relationship with God (Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Romans 12:2).
 

Through ministries based on God's Word and the sacraments (communion and baptism), fellowship and teaching, healing and prayer, the church nourishes its disciples as participants in God's mission in the world. (Acts 2:41-47)
