Our Purpose

Our Beliefs

  1. The Word of GOD – we believe both the Old and New Testament scriptures as preserved are the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God. All complete and sufficient, and are authoritative for faith and practice in the believers relationship with God. ( Ps. 119:160; Ps. 12:6-7; Pro. 30:5a; II Tim. 3:16; II Pet. 1:19-21)
  2. The One True God – the Bible teaches in the one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three distinct persons but without division of nature, essence or being. Co-equal in power and glory and having a distinct ministry in God’s relation to His creation and people. (Gen. 1:1 Exo. 15:11; Deut. 6:4; Ps. 83:18; 139:7-9; Matt. 28:19; Jn 10:30; 15:26; Acts 5:3-4; II Cor. 13:14)
  3. The Lord Jesus Christ – the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Triune God. Jesus is God in flesh, the “God Man”, begotten of the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, was tempted as we are, yet without sin. Being the perfect “Lamb of God” he freely gave His life to redeem the sins of man. He gave himself in death on the cross, bearing the sins of the world, arose from the grave conquering death and ascended into Heaven as the intercessor and the advocate before the Father for all those that will receive Him as Saviour. (Isa 7:14; Matt 1:18 – 25; Jn 1:1, 14; 3:16; Gal 4:4, 5; Col 2:9; Phil 2:6-10; I Cor. 15:3-7; Heb 4:14 – 17; I Jn 2:1, 2)
  4. The Holy Spirit – we believe the Holy Spirit is the third divine person of the Trinity that instantaneously and supernaturally indwells the hearts of those that receive the Lord Jesus as Savior. He regenerates, seals, anoints, guides, teaches and baptizes all believers into the Body of Christ. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. ( Jn 3:5; 14:16, 17, 26; Jn 16:7-14; Rom 8:9; I Cor. 12: 12 – 14; II Cor. 3:6, 18; Eph 1:13, 14; 5:18; Matt 28:19; I Peter 1:2)
  5. Mankind – man was created in the image and likeness of God. By choice man chose to sin and disobey God and is by inherited nature, born in sin, and sinful. Being born in sin man is alienated from a relationship with God, and is under the condemnation of God with no means of salvation within himself. ( Gen 1:27; 2:17; 3:6; Ps. 51:5; 58:3; Rom 3:23; 5:12-21; I Cor. 2:14; Gal 3:11 )
  6. Salvation by Grace Through Faith – God loves man enough, “ in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us”. Mans salvation / redemption was purchased by the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Christ paid the sin debt for man by his vicarious death. Mans only obligation is to admit his helplessness in his sin nature, repent of his sins, and by faith trust solely in the finished work of the cross and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Salvation cannot be earned, it is the “gift of God” to all those that will freely accept it. ( Eph. 2:8, 9; Titus 3:5; Jn 1:12; 3:14, 10:28, 29; Rom 8:1; Phil 1:6; II Pet 3:9; I Jn 2:2; I Cor. 15: 1 – 4; Rev 22:17 )

  7. Eternal Security – those that trust in the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ are “sealed unto the day of redemption” and eternally saved. ( Jn 3:8; Gal 3:24 – 26; I Jn 5: 11-13; Jn 3:16; Jn 6:36-40)

We agree with and follow the complete Southern Baptist Faith & Message 2000.

Our History​

Mt. Olive Baptist Church was officially founded on July 17, 1851 and has been serving the community of King and surrounding areas for the past 170+ years.

Several founding members of Mt. Olive moved to other area churches from 1887-1911 to help in spreading the Gospel. 

It’s never been just about Mt. Olive, it’s about making Jesus known and ministering to our community. This remains our mission today.
