The Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1872 by Rev. John Washington Morley. He was the founder and first pastor. It was a small church constructed of planks near its present location.

 

To keep pace with the spiritual growth, the Mount Olive Baptist Church was rebuilt in 1920 under the leadership of its pastor, L.H. Powell. This was a large frame structure housing approximately 380 people. Other ministers serving during this era were Reverends Brown, D.C. Gore, A.J. Lewis and J.L. Williamson.

The third rebuilding of the Mount Olive Church was began under the pastorate of J.L. Williamson, but was completed under the direction of Reverend H.P. Billups. This church was a block structure. Rev. C.L. Manning served as pastor from 1960-1962.

The fourth rebuilding was begun in 1968 with the ground breaking in October of that year under the pastorship of George Hartford Buck.
