Since 1955, Mount Olive has undertaken its call to raise up new leaders for the church. Each year in the fall, a new intern comes from seminary to engage the challenges of pastoral ministry under the mentorship of our pastor and staff, our lay support committee and our congregation. Mount Olive’s vicars have gone on to serve the church as pastors, bishops, lay leaders and seminary professors.
