Paying down debt from Mount Olive’s innovative green renovations in 2017 will propel the congregation toward its mission of being the presence of God in our city and world in the years ahead.
In the summer of 2021, the congregation commissioned a steering committee to lead a capital appeal, Boldly into the Future, to reduce the remaining debt.Quick Links

- A more accessible, welcoming Parish House entrance
- A more attractive south parking lot for humans and bees, with plantings and a rain garden
- Soul-stirring music from our fully functioning Schlicker pipe organ
- Beautifully restored stained-glass windows and improved structural integrity thanks to much-needed repairs to the roof and walls
- To care for the Earth
- To welcome all
- To ensure that our majestic organ continues to inspire future generations
- To be a positive presence in our neighborhood for decades to come
