Adults

The next Access Small Group meeting will be held this Sunday, June 14 from 12:30-2:00 in Room L5. We will have lunch and arts & crafts. Access Group is a small group launched two months ago at Mount Olivet to create a place where adults of all abilities can group in faith, build friendships, and support one another.

The Capital Pride Parade will be on June 20, 2026. We invite United Methodist congregations/organizations and individuals to join us! Please email Pastor Sara if you'd like to attend so that we can register for the correct number!

Please join us for Coffee Fellowship in the Gathering Space (exit the doors on the right of the Sanctuary towards 16th Street) on Sunday mornings after Traditional worship. Enjoy our new space, coffee, snacks and fellowship.

Mount Olivet’s Senior Adult Book Group meets via Zoom at 10 AM on the first Wednesday of each month. Books the group will discuss next are: 

• July 1 The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy
• August 5 Judge Stone by Viola Davis and James Patterson
• September 2 Theo the Golden by Allen Levi

If you would like to participate in the book group discussions, please contact Jim Dake.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has pledged and continues to give faithfully to Mount Olivet. Thanks to the generosity of our congregation, giving has increased compared to last year. This growth has enabled us to keep pace with rising expenses and continue supporting the mission and ministry of our church.

As we reflect on “Why Church” and give thanks for being fully open again, we would love to hear how God’s presence is evident in your life. If you feel led to share, please follow this link. Share Your Story

‍

Whether your experience was big or small—a quiet reassurance, an answered prayer, or an unexpected blessing—your story can encourage and uplift others in our community. Please consider sharing so we can celebrate together how God is at work among us.

As a reminder, Mount Olivet is a secure building and the building is locked at all times. Church office hours (when you can meet with staff/clergy or need access to the building) are Tuesday-Friday from 9 AM – 2 PM, no office hours on Monday. Staff/clergy will continue to work flexible hours and have other meetings and appointments, so it is best to make an appointment as needed. You can email an individual staff member or clergy or call the church office at 571-447-3619.

The end of Mount Olivet’s fiscal year is upon us (June 30). If you have not already done so, catch up on your pledge, make a donation or make a pledge. Give Now. Thank you for your continued support of Mount Olivet’s ministry and mission.

Historically organized religion was hostile to congregants who were LGBTQ+. In 1968 a former Pentecostal minister, Troy Perry, founded Metropolitan Community Church as an intentionally welcoming church and it has grown to an international Christian denomination.
