The function and role of the Elder at the Mt Olive SDA Worship and Education Center is a multi facetted one. Their first priority is assisting the pastor in ministering to the needs of the members and attendees. When there are members who are ill or hospitalized, they make the visits. The homebound also receive communion from the Elders. Each department of the church has an Elder sitting with them. All members or attendees are encouraged to approach any of the Elders with their concerns, needs, observations or compliments and each is handled in a Christ-like professional manner.
During the appeal of the sermon, the Elders embrace the precious souls as they give their lives to Christ, obtain their information, and see to it that their needs are met. The Elders conduct the pre-baptism and post-baptism classes at the church. The board of Elders welcomes you to worship with us at Mt Olive.
