Chef Bob wants to connect with you!
At Olive, it’s not enough to just fill out a form and hope someone gets back to you. The church is built with people, and that’s why we value you as an integral part of this ever-growing kingdom. Finding gospel-centered community is vital, and we are here to connect with you!
About the Community
We’ve saved a seat at the table for you!
At Olive Baptist Church, we believe in the power of bringing people together through the culinary arts. By sharing meals and recipes, we create an environment that encourages dialogue, builds friendships, and strengthens our bonds as a church family.
Christian Chefs International meet the last Monday of every month at 6pm January–October in the
678 Building.
Get a taste of Christian chefs
At Christian Chefs, you will get to participate in a brief cooking demonstration, gaining exposure to diverse cooking techniques and cultural flavors. Following the cooking demo, we gather to eat and engage in a short devotional. Learn more about Christian Chefs below.
