"Now that the worship is over, let the service begin"
You'll often hear this familiar saying at Mount Olive. It reminds us that worship doesn't end when we leave the sanctuary. It continues as we put our faith into action through love, service, and caring for others.
Inspired by God's love and strengthened by his Word, we seek to serve our neighbors, care for those in need, and share the love of Jesus Christ throughout our community.
Caring for Our Church Family
At Mount Olive, we believe no one should walk through life's challenges alone. Our Spiritual Care Team serves our church family through prayer, encouragement, home visits, and Holy Communion for those who are homebound or unable to attend worship services.
Whether you or a loved one is experiencing an illness, injury, hospitalization, or another life challenge, we are here to help. We would be honored to pray with you, support you, add you to our prayer list, and arrange a visit or home communion if desired.

Caring for Our Community
Mount Olive Lutheran Church is committed to serving both our church family and the greater community. Throughout the year, we look for meaningful ways to share God’s love through acts of kindness, generosity, and service.
We partner with Lockport CARES to provide meals to residents, staff, and volunteers four times a year. During the Christmas season, we participate in an Adopt-a-Family program and Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse. Our Noisy Change collection supports needs both within our congregation and throughout the community.
We also support the Lockport High School Bible Club by providing refreshments, offer free community meals at our church, and have hosted a summer picnic meal for local law enforcement. Our members have served as locktenders at the historic Lockport Locks, and each year we participate in a baby bottle fundraiser benefiting Haven of Hope Pregnancy Center.
There are many opportunities to serve within our congregation as well. Members volunteer as Scripture readers, greeters, and devotional readers for our Facebook page. Our talented musicians also provide musical leadership during worship services.
At Mount Olive, everyone has gifts and talents to share, and there is a place for everyone to make a difference. Whether serving our neighbors, supporting local organizations, or contributing to the life of our congregation, we welcome all who wish to serve with caring hearts and willing hands.
Volunteer Opportunities
Every member has unique gifts to share. Whether you enjoy teaching, welcoming visitors, helping behind the scenes, or serving in the community, there are many opportunities to become involved in the ministries of Mount Olive.
