We wanted to provided a glimpse into our community, but we are still putting everything together so the content is not finalized. Keep checking back for updates!

Within the community, Olivet seeks to be a church that preaches God’s love and builds a community that practices God’s love through hospitality, creating a safe and brave space for all of us to belong.

In public spaces, Olivet engages in social righteousness through partnerships with community organizations that are actively working towards the common good of humanity and all of God’s creation.

We are a church of Jesus Christ who celebrates our relationship with the Living God through: active worship; faithful witness; loving service; Spiritual transformation; building community; and promoting social righteousness.

We are a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation, with the following confessional heritage: Ecumenical Heritage, 16th Century Reformation, Reformed Tradition, Modern Heritage

On April 16, 1856, a new church was instituted and organized in the city of Philadelphia by a deputation from the Third Presbytery. The church consisted of 16 members and met in a new church building on the corner of 22nd and Wallace Streets. The church building was built through the generosity of benefactors that included Mathias Baldwin ( of Baldwin Locomotive fame). The lot had been part of the country estate of Robert Morris, a father of the American Revolution. The name given to that church was "Olivet."
