We are dedicated to missions both local and abroad. The great commission tells us that we are to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to the best of our ability we try to do that. We are to be the hands of feet of Jesus, and we have a wide range of mission work that allows us to do just that.

OUR BELIEFS
The Bible - God used holy men to write the Scriptures. They are, in both the Old and New Testaments, the very words God intended us to have. They are, as given by God, without error and are our only rule of faith and practice.
God - We believe that God is the Creator, Sustainer, and Righteous Ruler of the universe. He has revealed Himself in nature, and in the Scriptures of the Holy Bible as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: yet as one God.
Jesus Christ - He is God’s unique Son; the only one of a kind. The Scripture teaches that He is God revealed in flesh. In His Divine nature He is truly God and in His human nature truly man. He is the One once crucified for man’s sin, the now risen and glorified Savior and Lord who mediates between God and man and who gives us access to the Father through His intercession. None can come to the Father unless they come through Him.
Man - God created man in a state of innocence. Man, being tempted by Satan, yielded and willfully disobeyed God, becoming a sinner and incurring God’s judgment upon sin. All of Adam’s descendants inherit his fallen nature and thus have a natural inclination to sin. When one comes to an age of accountability, he is guilty of sinning before God and in need of salvation.
Salvation - Man receives pardon and forgiveness for his sins when he admits to God that he is a sinner, when in godly sorrow he turns from them and trusts in the work of Christ as redemption for his sin. This acceptance of God’s great salvation involves belief in Christ’s death on the cross as man’s substitute and the fact of God’s raising Him from the dead as predicted. It is a salvation by grace alone and not of works.
The Second Coming - The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, who ascended on high and sits at the right hand of God, will come again to close the Gospel dispensation, glorify His saints, and judge the world.
OUR HISTORY
Mount Olive Freewill Baptist Church was organized n 1933 by Rev. Ben Powers in Wise Virginia, and in 1936 Mt. Olive Church was dedicated to the glory of God. From our small beginnings in a one room church, God blessed us enough to outgrow our original building, and we moved into our second sanctuary building in 1996. God continued to bless our church and allow us to reach out to more and more people. In 2011 we were blessed to be able to move into our current sanctuary. Through all of this we have continued to allow God to lead us in all we do and strive to continue be able to be a lighthouse for the word of God in our community
