ELDER TEAM
As Elders, it is our goal to be “intentional” about our care for and connection with the Olivet family. With that goal in mind, we have assigned Elders to groups of members and attenders, hoping to connect with you, hear from you, pray with and for you and encourage you as an active member of our church family.  Feel free to talk with, call or email ANY Elder at ANY time, but below are the assignments we have made for 2025.
