Olivet Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was
founded in 1874 in the community of Harg, four miles east of Columbia. The
congregation presently numbers over 400 participating members. The
congregation is fairly diverse, so we attempt to offer a wide variety of
programs and activities. You are welcome to participate in as many or as few
as you are comfortable with. Regular worshipers are assigned to a
Mission Family. Each Mission Family will meet several times a year and is
responsible for fellowship and care giving among its members, as well as
hospitality and worship on a rotating schedule. Each Mission Family
will share responsibilities of monthly duties at various times during the
year. The present church building at Rt. WW and Olivet Rd. was
occupied in 1994. Both membership and attendance have doubled since then.
