Projects and Outreach
We strive to use our resources to reach the lost and those in need. We believe knowing and giving to others are the greatest things we can do to support and grow the Kingdom for Christ. We have two primary projects focused on doing just that. One is supporting the students in our community who are away from home, and the second is supporting others in the community with spiritual and physical needs.
We also believe being a part of the community is critical to knowing them and them knowing us. So throughout the year we participate in local events - festivals and parades - that give us opportunities to reach others we might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet.
Olivet Student Outreach
Throughout the school year we set up and supply students at the college with personal needs, including but not limited to clothing, cleaning supplies, and basic hygiene supplies, all for free.
We also have weekly Bible services on Wednesday nights at 6:00 pm for youth ages 13 to 18, and Thursday nights at 6:30 pm for college and young adults ages 18 to 28 as an additional means of outreach to these students.

GOSERVE
We partner with GoServe to obtain and help provide items needed by those in the community. This allows us to provide items like furniture, appliances, baby needs, and personal hygiene for those who might not otherwise be able to afford those items.
