Olive Baptist Church seems to prioritize finances over outreach, with little focus on community engagement. Their athletic center, formerly known as the ROC (Recreational Outreach Center), had to change its name, suggesting a lack of emphasis on outreach efforts. During my recent visit to shoot hoops there, I observed an uncomfortable atmosphere where everyone was treated with suspicion as if they didn’t belong there. A lady from the front desk walked over the the windows looking into the gym, and all she did was cross her arms and glare and everyone in the gym.

Amazing church, that's spot on with The Message of God. Pastor Traylor does a brilliant job of sharing the good news in both a scholarly and relatable format. Every Sundays sermon has depth and improves my understanding and relationship with Jesus. Revival is happening here, God bless this church and it's members.

I will say that when you first come into the church service the orchestra/band is blasting music to where you can't even socialize. It is nice for the first few moments before church starts to unwind/peacefully socialize with others. Was almost near impossible with the loud orchestra blasting you out of the room. I liked it a lot better when it was more contemporary awhile back. The music is starting to go in the opposite direction and become more traditional. Also don't particularly care for how people shout amen in an authoritative/almost showing off tone. There was a lady sitting behind me that would not hush during the 11 am service that caused me to get up and leave. She kept shouting amen in a rude/mean way. Just know, the holier than thou attitude is not appreciated. Also miss the singles program. That was the one thing that I used to enjoy. Now, it is near impossible to plug in as a single person. You are missing an entire group of people that could grow the church exponentially. Leaving 5 stars because the pastor is good and his preaching is on point.

Great people, awesome preaching! Really great choir and orchestra. Was my first time and I really enjoyed it. Didnt feel out of place at all. Pastor was nice and fun to listen to. Worship was great, not too long, sounded real nice. 2 services is nice depending on the time you want to go. Older croud in the first, younger in the second.

Olive Baptist Chrurch is a larger church with a large heart. They have classes for all age groups. Including cubbies - preschool, awanas - elementary, fusion - middle school, zone - high school, and classes for adults and college students. Pastor Ted Traylor really follows after God, teaches great surmons, and provides an example of how we should live so we may glorify God. There's is a library with hundreds if not thousands of books, a gym, and a ROC (recreational outreach center). And they opened a new wing of the Church called the 678 building for middle schoolers. It truly is a wonderful church and I would diffenetley recommend attending.
