Olivet United Methodist Church History
Preaching was begun by Bishop Francis Asbury on March 13, 1773 at a local home. When the following grew, the first church was erected on the property – a wood frame building in 1808.
Asbury’s journal records stated: April, 1803: My subject at the New Chapel, Georgetown Cross Roads (Galena’s old name), First Timothy, Fourth Chapter, second verse.”
In 1842, this building was moved to one side and used by the slaves when the present brick structure was erected. The old church building was later sold and moved to Olivet Hill where it now stands.
In 1888, a Sunday School Chapel was erected on the parsonage lot. This building remained the Sunday School facility until it was torn down in the early 1960’s.
To meet the growing needs of the church for more modern facilities, the present Education building was erected in 1958. This building still houses our Church Sunday School program and Fellowship Hall for group activities.
Today, Olivet United Methodist Church is still an active, growing church concerned with spreading the “Good News” in our community and in our world. The Church community maintains an active program of education and spiritual growth throughout the year.
Everyone is welcome and invited to be a part of our Christian family.

The way, the truth, and the life
Lord Jesus, thou who art the way, the truth, and the life; hear us as we pray for the truth that shall make all free. Teach us that liberty is not only to be loved but also to be lived. Liberty is too precious a thing to be buried in books. It costs too much to be hoarded. Help us see that our liberty is not the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to please to do what is right.
