Olive Baptist exists to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

Our community strives to develop fully devoted followers by honoring our four core values:

We seek to know God
We connect people with the message of Christ
We equip people to walk with Christ
We share God’s love by serving others

Looking for community? Every week, people decide to make Olive a church to call home. No matter where you are in life, we are glad to have you among us. It is our desire for all who visit Olive to find a place to worship God and connect with people. There is a place for you at Olive whether you are just beginning to explore Christianity or have been a Christ follower for a long time.

Existing to develop fully devoted followers of Christ, Olive desires to equip you with the resources, encouragement, and godly community to see you grow in your walk with Christ. Our Sunday morning small groups will give you an opportunity to dig deeper into scripture and get to know other people in similar walks of life. With two worship service times, our Pensacola Campus meets at 9:30 am and 11:00 am to worship together and hear from the Word of God as a body of believers.

“This now is the Word of God.”

These seven words spoken at the beginning of each sermon preached by Dr. Ted Traylor is the foundation of his ministry.

Having served as pastor of Olive Baptist Church since 1990, Dr. Ted Traylor is committed to developing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. His bold and practical preaching brings listeners to a fresh understanding of the Bible and challenges them to become bondservants for Christ.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Dr. Traylor’s coaching style of leadership allows teams to develop their spiritual gifts as they serve the body of Christ and their communities. Mentoring and training young ministers is a passionate focus of his ministry. Preaching at various meetings and conferences throughout the country, he is known for his uncompromising stand on biblical issues and a strong defense of the Christian faith.

Service Times last updated on the 21st of September, 2024

We have handicap parking located at every entrance including ramps to the sidewalk. We have three elevators around the church. In the Sanctuary, we have an area for our deaf ministry. Deaf services are provided at the 9:30AM service time. Sitting together as a deaf ministry creates a sense of community and mutual support among individuals who share similar communication needs and experiences. This placement ensures better visibility of the interpreter and the speaker. If you are hard of hearing and need assistance in hearing the service, we also have an app called Wavecast. Wavecast allows you to listen to services via your cellphone and ultimately your hearing assist devices. We have clear backpacks called sensory bags for you. In these bags there are a variety of objects that help with any sort of processing struggles. You can find these backpacks at the Guest Services desks, and the front desks of Kids, Middle School, and High School Ministry. We also have one in the security office. Here are the items included in the sensory bags: Noise cancelling headphones Ear plugs Fidgets Weighted Blankets We ask that if you need any items out of these backpacks that you return them to the original bag. If you need the whole bag, just return it to its home spot. We are currently accepting grades ranging from Preschool to Highschool in our Special Needs Ministry located in the ROC by the Blue Room. These rooms are designed to meet the educational and developmental needs of students with disabilities in a specialized setting. While teaching the love of Jesus, in these classrooms students can work on self-regulation skills, social difficulties, and communication while using adaptive equipment and assistive technology. Alongside the special needs classroom, we have a sensory room. This room is important for our students that need a controlled environment that promotes regulation, relaxation, and sensory exploration. Students that are feeling overwhelmed, over stimulated or just need some time to chill, can use this room to their advantage.
