Who They Are
Asbury/ Mt. Olive United Methodist Church is a welcoming congregation that believes that God is a God of Action. Their pastor, Rev. A.D. Washington, believes that her congregation is commissioned to stand courageously in the face of hopelessness remembering that with trust in God, they can overcome anything with God's strength.
The congregants of Asbury/Mt. Olive believe they are examples of Christ and their ultimate function is bring non-Christians to Jesus through their testimonies of love and faith by evangelizing with integrity, love and spirituality.
