COLLEGE STUDENT MINISTRY

The College Student Ministry was organized five years ago under the leadership of Rev. John Marshall Gilmore to continue the support to all college students who are members of Mt. Olive C.M.E. Church that was initiated and implemented by the Madonna Guild. The ministry support focuses on keeping the students close to us while they are enrolled in the college or university of their choice and providing them support and assistance as needed. Activities include: student-mentoring, provision of tapes of sermons; sending cards for birthdays and holidays; and highlighting their accomplishments in the church bulletin. The idea is to provide a nurturing environment so that the students will remain true to their Christian training wherever they are and hopefully remain as active and supportive members of Mt. Olive . Location and Date(s) of Meeting: Meet bi-monthly or as needed. Meetings are held immediately after church service on designated Sundays in the church sanctuary.
