On Sunday, May 27 at 10:00am Mount Olivet will be celebrating 125 years of service in a special Homecoming Service. There will be a catered meal in the fellowship hall following the morning service.
Mt. Olivet United Brethren Church was established in 1893 in Mt. Solon, Virginia. The land for the building was donated by Mrs. George (Sally) Daggy. The lumber used to build the church came from trees in the surrounding area. The building was 1 room and had 2 front doors, one for women and one for men. The men and women sat on opposite sides. There were 2 woodstoves toward the front, 1 on each side.
We are thankful for the first pastor, Rev. J. E. Hott and the founders of Mt. Olivet for their vision of proclaiming the Gospel of Christ in the Mt. Solon community and to the world, and for those who have continued to carry that vision throughout the years.
