The Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church was organized in 1872 as the first African American church in the Mt. Hermon/Sunny Hill community under a tent with wood benches to serve residents of the area.
At a meeting of the Washington Parish Council on Monday (August 22, 2022), Washington Parish President Richard N. Thomas, Jr. read a Proclamation recognizing the 150-year Anniversary of the Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church and presented the Proclamation to the congregation's pastor, Rev. Kenneth C. Saulsberry.
The Anniversary will be celebrated on September 18th and 25th, 2022 at the Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church with two services on each date at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
See the reading and presentation of the Proclamation in the video below the Proclamation.
