2026 Fall Spiritual Growth Opportunities

This fall, there are many opportunities at Mount Olive to study God’s Word, ask questions, build friendships, and grow together in Christ. Whether you are looking for a study for yourself, your family, or your children, there is a place for you!

For Adults

THE GOSPEL IN THE PSALMS

  • Details: Sundays • 9:15 AM • Begins Sept 13 • Weekly
  • Location: Commons
  • About: God’s Old Testament believers used the psalms to pray to Him. They asked for many things, but mainly that God would bless his people through the King, Jesus Christ. Since their prayers centered on the Savior, we can expect to find a clear understanding of the gospel of forgiveness. This Bible study leads us on a journey through the Psalms and helps us see Christ and the gospel there.

A FAMILY GROWING IN CHRIST – BIBLE BASICS CLASS

  • Details: Sundays • 9:15 AM • Sept 13 – Dec 20
    Thursdays • 6:00 PM  • Sept 10 – Dec 17
  • Location: Lower-Level Conference Room
  • About: Am I right with God? Will I go to heaven? How do I know? And how did the world get so messed up? Life is full of important questions that God wants us to know the answers to as he brings us into a relationship with him. This class starts with the basics of the Bible — sin and grace, faith and good works —and then builds on that foundation to help you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. This introductory Bible study serves as the path to membership at Mount Olive and is also a great review for lifelong Christians. Got a friend who is curious about the Bible? This is the class for them!

GODLY CONVERSATIONS

  • Details: Sundays • 9:15 AM • Begins Sept 13 • 2nd, 4th & 5th Sundays
  • Location: Room 109 (Classroom Across from Commons)
  • About: Young hearts of faith constantly face the realities of the world. Pressures, new experiences, and questions present themselves regularly. The hardest part is that common approaches and answers don’t seem to line up with what a young Christian has learned from their Savior. The ultimate question…what’s right? Godly Conversations is an opportunity to examine what Jesus says to a young Christian about life’s biggest questions. Middle school, high school, and college-age students learn about God’s place for them in the world, share their experiences to grow together, and gain stamina for difficult moments – present and future. Any young Christians and friends are welcome!

For Men

WHY MEN HATE GOING TO CHURCH

  • Details: Fridays • 6:30 AM • Begins Sept 11 • Weekly
  • Location: Fireside Room
  • About: Men need the church. And just as important, the church needs men! Yet on any given weekend in America, less than 40% of adults in church are men, and almost a quarter of married church-going women attend without their husbands. This book study evaluates the reasons behind this phenomenon and offers hope and encouragement not just for men, but for the church as we strive to foster an environment of Jesus-loving men.
