THE HISTORIC OLIVE CHAPEL
OUR WORSHIP
Our style of worship is a mixture of contemporary and traditional. We sing familiar hymns and modern gospel songs. As a methodist church, we follow a an order of service but we try to be sensitive to the Spirit of God during the worship service and therefore may vere from the printed program.
Service Times:
10am - Church School (formerlly known as Sunday School)
11am - Morning Worship
Etiquette:
You don't have to wear your "church clothes". Come and worship God with us! You may express yourself during the service in a manner tha feels comfortable to you. So clap your hands, stomp your feet, dance in the aisle, or just sit in silence.
