01Our approach
A concentric circle of love and care
We look at service as love spreading outward — beginning with Mount Olive, then to the Rochester community, out to Minnesota, the United States and into the world.
The Service and Social Outreach Ministry Team coordinates these ministries. Check your talents and time, work in some of these opportunities, and grow as an individual, family and congregation member.
