Olive Baptist Church

 

CONNECTION GROUPS

Join us every Sunday at 8:00 or 9:30 AM to find the place for you to connect with the family at Olive. Pick up a Sunday School Connection Group guide at the Guest Welcome Center in the Main Foyer of the church to find the special fit for you.

Connection Groups are designed to yield three specific outcomes:

Connect with Christ though Bible study and Worship
Connect with Christians through Ministry and Fellowship
Connect with the Community through Evangelism and Missions

PRESCHOOL

In the Preschool Ministry, children are assigned classes based on their date of birth and are promoted during the fall of each year. Age-grading allows us to group preschoolers with similar interests and abilities and to focus our teaching toward the developmental level of the class. As a parent, you can help us care for your preschooler by following these tips:

  • Label everything (child’s back, cup, coat, etc.)
  • Bring a change of clothes (accidents do happen)
  • Pack a sippie cup for toddlers
  • Inform teacher of any allergies or medical concerns
  • Follow all security procedure
