Mt Olive Church is located in the Irving Park neighborhood in Chicago, less than five blocks from the Irving Park blue line station. We are an Evangelical Free church composed of a faithful community of followers of Jesus, gathering each Sunday to worship, learn, and grow through expositional teaching from God’s Word. At Mt Olive, we are committed to worshipping God with praise and thanksgiving, building fellowship through relationships, serving our community with compassion and purpose, studying Scripture together in small groups, and sharing the gospel and living out the good news of Jesus. Our congregation is small (30-60 in attendance per week) but involved.
