The mission of the Married Couples Ministry is to encourage and equip young married adults, ages 18–50, to have five healthy and thriving relationships: God, Spouse, Family, other Christians, and the Community.

We encourage everyone to strive to fulfill this mission by active participation in three areas of the ministry:

  1. Corporate Worship

    9:30 or 11:00 Each Sunday in the Main Worship Center

  2. A Sunday School Connection Group

    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

  3. Serve in an area of passion and giftedness

    Partner with an age group minister on staff to volunteer your time and talent

Sunday School Connection Groups

Join us every Sunday at 8:00 or 9:30 to find the place for you to connect with the family at Olive. Find a class below, or 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.
