Bible Studies/Sunday School:
Sunday 9:15 a.m. (September - May) - Sunday School and Under Four Daycare
Target Audience: Ages 4 through 6th grade
Location:
Contact Person and Phone Number: Questions about our Sunday School program? Contact the Church Office at 920-739-9194.
Current Topic: As our children grow physically, growing in their faith and understanding of God’s Word is absolutely vital! Mount Olive offers Sunday School classes for age 4 (by Sept. 1) through 6th grade. These classes include Bible stories, crafts, music, and age-appropriate discussion and application of the truths of God’s Word. Sunday School uses a different curriculum than our Christian Day School, so each Sunday features a different Bible story not covered during the school week. Sunday School meets from 9:15 am-10:15 am every Sunday morning. Mount Olive also offers a daycare room with music, play, and structured learning for children under the age of 4 who aren’t old enough for Sunday School so parents can drop off their kids and attend Bible class themselves. Please make use of this resource for the spiritual growth of you and your children!
Sundays, from 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. - The Life of Joseph
Target Audience: Everyone is Invited!
Location: Commons
Contact Person and Phone Number: Church Office - 739-9194
Current Topic: How would you react if you were hated by your siblings? Propositioned by a married woman? Thrown into jail? Beginning this Sunday at 9:15 AM, Pastor Raasch will lead a study of The Life of Joseph. Join us as we put ourselves in the shoes of one of the 12 sons of Isaac. Discover the ways God graciously equipped Joseph (and us!) to bless others and use the evil intentions for the good of his people.
Sundays, 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. - Conversations in John
Target Audience: Everyone is Invited
Location: Sanctuary
Contact Person and Phone Number: Church Office - 739-9194
Current Topic: What does it mean when we say that Jesus is the friend of sinners? It means exactly that! Jesus spent a lot of time with individuals getting to know them, asking them questions, letting them pour their hearts out to him. The Gospel of John gives us a fascinating glimpse at some intense conversations Jesus had with the lost he came to save. Let's look and see how Jesus is able to so masterfully communicate to sinners that he is their Savior. Led by Pastor Gawel, Sundays from 9:15-10:15 AM in the Sanctuary.
Sundays, 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. - A Family Growing in Christ
Target Audience: It serves as the path to membership at Mount Olive but is also a newly written class that serves as a great review for Mount Olive members.
Location: Lower-level Conference Room
Contact Person and Phone Number: Church Office - 739-9194
Current Topic: This class gives a basic introduction to what the Bible and Mount Olive teach, along with a chance for you to ask questions, develop relationships with other people and the pastor. It serves as the path to membership at Mount Olive but is also a newly written class that serves as a great review for Mount Olive members. This class will meet on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings with the same session being taught on both of those days to give people the flexibility to attend whichever session best fits their schedule.
Wednesdays, from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. - The Life of Abraham
Target Audience: Everyone is Invited!
Location: Commons
Contact Person and Phone Number: Church Office - 739-9194
Current Topic: A long-running TV series entitled, “This Is Your Life” gave viewers a look into the lives of athletes, celebrities, and, on occasion, everyday people. This year’s Wednesday morning Bible class will focus on a similar theme. We’ll be looking into the lives of important Biblical figures. We’ll begin with Abraham whose God-given faith demonstrates the boldness of faith, the importance of prayer, and the calm contentment that is ours as we rely on God’s unfailing promises. As the class progresses, we’ll have a chance to look at several other people of God, like Moses, Joseph, and David, to name just a few.

This fall we’ll be studying the Book of Romans. Before you do anything else on Friday, stop in to recharge your batteries with your brothers in Christ.
