Mount Olive Baptist Church
History:
On Sunday, July 2, 1889 a small group of baptized believers came together following the directives of the "Great Commission" found in Matthew 28:19 "To go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" and the Mount Olive Mission was birthed.
Their meeting was held in the Old Irving Hall located at the corner of Main and Mercer Streets in Hackensack, New Jersey. The minister on that day was Rev. J. J. Porter. At the conclusion of their meeting, twenty-nine persons immediately applied for membership and were received as charter members. In that same month, Rev. J.J. Porter was called to the Pastorate of Mount Olive.
