Adult Sunday School
Faith and Fellowship
Sundays at 10:15 AM
Room L8 (and zoom)
We are a community of individuals who care for our classmates and others in the Mount Olivet family by attending to personal joys and concerns. We read and discuss scripture studies and books by contemporary theologians and other writers selected to bring insight to our spirituality. We understand that individuals are at different points along their spiritual journeys, which provides for meaningful, enlightening, and fun Sunday morning discussions.

Mini-vangelism Parent's Group
Sundays at 10:15 AM
Room L9
This class is geared towards preschool and elementary parents looking to explore faith formation within a family context. We'll have adult conversations about faith, raising kids in the church, best ways to talk with our children about current events, and how to help our children explore God's presence as they go out into the world. Can't make it every week? Not many of us can! Even if it's once a month, we're glad to have you.

Spirited Parents
Bi-Monthly, Sundays at 10:15 AM
Preschool Wing S-15
Parenting teens comes with its peaks and valleys, and the Mount Olivet Spirited Parents Sunday School class is here to help you on your family’s journey through the middle school, high school, and young adult years. Whether you’ve been a part of Spirited Parents before the pandemic or are brand new, if you’re looking for ways to connect with parents of older kids, we’d love you to join us. We are an easygoing group that meets the 2nd and 4th Sundays. In the past, we’ve discussed topics such as technology use, teens and faith, and teen mental health, as well as faith-based studies. What issues are important to your family? We’d love to dive into them with you!

Sunday Study Group
Sundays at 10:15 AM
Youth Area (and Zoom)
This class was founded over 50 years ago with lots of changes during that time. A 1972 member would not recognize the hybrid model which now brings us together each Sunday in person and via Zoom to study and grow our faith. We’re multigenerational, learning from each other, as we select a book or video series to discuss. Some recent studies have included When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Rabbi Harold Kushner and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Get some coffee then join us in the Youth Area or email Kristen for the Zoom link.
