Olivet Presbyterian Church (PCA)

Description of Organization

Olivet Presbyterian Church is a historic congregation with almost two centuries of service to the Lord. We are blessed financially having no debt, recently renovated facilities, and room for growth. We are situated in southern York County, where we have enjoyed a rural and agrarian lifestyle for generations, but are seeing growth as part of the greater Charlotte metropolitan area. Urban shopping and services can be reached with a relatively short drive while enjoying the more peaceful life of a small town and community.

In addition to our Sunday School for children and adults, followed by Sunday morning worship in a traditional style, we have a ministry for children and youth and an adult Bible Study on Sunday evenings. We have a monthly Sunday evening fellowship meal. Our summer ministries include VBS and a Tuesday-evening game night for youth. An adult group also meets for prayer on Wednesday evenings year-round.

Olivet enjoys a family atmosphere, where many members have known each other their entire lives, and newcomers have been welcomed to the flock.
