Mount Olive's Youth ministry program goes from 7th-12th grade.
7th & 8th grade youth are encouraged to go through confirmation classes. These classes meet twice a month during the school year and involve fun PowerPoint presentations, small groups, interactive quizzes, music and skits.
High School youth meet on Sundays from 11:30am-2:00pm. All youth are involved in service projects (like mission trips and Helping Hands Project Elf), fun activities (like laser tag, video scavenger hunts and lock-ins), and camping trips. During the summer, youth go on a week-long mission trip and gather for pool parties.
Youth Leadership Team is comprised of youth elected by the classmates to help plan and lead youth events. These leaders are fulfill the role of encouragers and information sharers to the youth group. Youth Leadership Team members have a yearly YLT-only retreat for fun and planning.
College-aged young adults meet weekly for a Tuesday Night Bible Study and occasionally for activities such as bowling, a local game, Coffee House or a service activity.
