This fall at Mount Olive, we invite you to grow deeper in God’s Word—and in community. From large to small groups, in church, at home, life groups, moms, and more, with options nearly every day of the week.
Find something that piques your interest and works with your schedule.
It’s our prayer for you to find your community here and get plugged into God’s word.
Bible Study Opportunities

A Family Growing in Christ
Do you or someone you know want to know more about sin and grace, faith and works, the Bible, the Trinity, Jesus, Baptism, and Communion? This class gives the building blocks for what the Bible and Mount Olive teach and what it means to be a member at Mount Olive. This class is the perfect opportunity to invite a friend who may not have a church home. The class is also an excellent review for members if it’s been a while since their Catechism days. Class will meet on Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings, with the same session being taught on both days to allow people to attend whichever session best fits their schedule.
- Leader: Pastor Priewe
- Date/Time: Sundays, starting January 18th, 9:15 am; or Thursdays, starting January 15th, 6:00 pm
- Location: Lower-level Conference Room
Men’s Bible Study
Where does a man go to grow in his role as a Christian husband, father, man of God? Where can he be intellectually challenged, spiritually fed, and genuinely encouraged in a fun, informed atmosphere? The answer: Mount Olive’s Men’s Bible Study. This fall, we’ll read and discuss the book Fast Facts on False Teachings by Ron Carlson and Ed Decker. Before you do anything else on Friday, stop in to recharge your batteries with your brothers in Christ.
- Leader: Paul Kolell
- Date: Fridays
- Time: 6:30-7:30 am
- Location: Fireside Room
Life Groups: Applying God’s Word to Life
Are you looking for connection and encouragement from Christian friends at Mount Olive? Mount Olive can feel like a big place. Life Groups offer the opportunity to grow closer to God and other believers as we strive to be A Family Growing in Christ. These groups, led by Mount Olive members, center around a discussion of the weekly sermon while also emphasizing the chance to get to know each other better. Mount Olive offers many group meetings at various times and locations, in person or online, in homes or at church. We are looking for new groups to form. Meeting space is available. Scheduling is flexible. Groups are kid-friendly. Please reach out to your pastors if you would like to form or find a group. Watch for times and locations of Life Groups in the coming weeks.
SISTERS Small Groups
Are you looking for an opportunity to sit at Jesus’ feet with your fellow sisters in Christ? Interested in receiving encouragement to face the challenges of everyday life, as you spend time in God’s Word? Please contact one of these leaders to join their group:
- Kerri Kleist: The Book of Acts: Empowered to Proclaim, WELS Women’s Ministry
- Wednesdays in her home; 4 & 6:30 pm, starting September 10
- Mandy Ehlke: Delight: A Walk Through the Psalms
- Fridays in the Fireside Room, 8:30 am
Sunday School
As our children grow physically, growing in their faith and understanding of God’s Word is absolutely vital! Mount Olive offers Sunday School classes for ages 4 (by Sept. 1) through 6th grade. These classes include Bible stories, crafts, music, and age-appropriate discussion and application of the truths of God’s Word. Sunday School uses a different curriculum than our Christian Day School, so each Sunday features a different Bible story not covered during the school week. Sunday School meets from 9:15 am to 10:15 am every Sunday morning. We’re looking forward to getting into God’s Word together!
Mount Olive Moms
Mount Olive Moms is a ministry designed for moms of all generations, providing a space to support, encourage, and uplift one another through every stage of motherhood. It’s a place where moms can unwind, enjoy refreshments, engage with teachings on relevant topics, and build meaningful relationships.
- Date: Select Tuesdays, beginning September 23, 2025
