Our Response to the Coronavirus-COVID-19-

22 May, 2020, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order stating that Churches, Temples and other houses of Worship are considered essential services and therefore free to assemble. Most recently, Mayor Muriel Bowser stated that all churches will not have to wear face masks. However, we are going to continuing wear masks on a month by month basis.

Mount Olive Baptist Church like other churches rejoices Church's are now free to worship in person as opposed to online. However, we as a autonomous church reserve the right to phase in our worship services as we deem it is in the best interest of all church members and the surrounding community. In the near future, as Mount Olive begins to phase in its regular and physical attendance, we will issue instructions and directions as to how that will take place. In the meantime, Mount Olive Baptist Church and its officers and members all take very seriously the impact of the Coronavirus-COVID-19. In response we have taken the following precautions and will continue to issue the following the precautions and protocol:

We have ceased all physical services at this site. We will continue our regular services via our Social Media Platforms and Website.
