Also, be sure to take advantage of the multiple ways to stay connected or even submit a prayer request. It is our desire to spread the original belief of "CHURCH" (body of baptized believers) to our community, which is why we are committed to "GO-TEACH-BAPTIZE-LOVE"!

The History of
Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church Church
In the year 1895, the property on which Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church (MOMBC), Rocky Mount NC stands was acquired. In December 1903, a deed was made to the trustees and was voluntarily signed on December 16, 1903.
In 1910, under the leadership of Reverend Drake (1st Pastor) and with the determination of several community members, a Bush Harbor was constructed. MOMBC was founded to meet the spiritual thirst of the Black Community as well as the social, political, and economical needs. The first church structure was established in 1911 and the membership grew from the family members within the community.
Under the leadership of Reverend Bozzie Thorne (2nd Pastor), membership continued to grow and the first committees were formed: Deacon Board, Mother Board, and Usher Board. In the mid to late 50s, Reverend Thorne sought the services of a Reverend Battle to come and serve as the first and only Assistant Pastor to date. That Assistant Pastor, the Reverend George E. Battle, Sr., became the 3rd Pastor in 1959.
