About Mount Olive

Mount Olive Evangelical Lutheran Church is a confessional, liturgical congregation of the English District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.  We are a confessional, liturgical congregation, which means that we hold Holy Scripture, and the Lutheran Confessions derived from it, to be the only source and norm of our faith and practice.

We are located in the Noble-Monticello neighborhood of Cleveland Heights, an inner-ring, east side suburb of Cleveland, Ohio.  Our members come from various ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds.  We are committed to outreach and ministry within our neighborhood and surrounding community.  At the same time, we welcome people from all of northeast Ohio who are seeking a confessional, liturgical congregation where Jesus Christ is at the center.

We are only minutes away from Cleveland's education and healthcare center, University Circle.  We are a haven for many people visiting the Cleveland Clinic or University Hospitals.  If you are moving to the area to attend Case Western Reserve University or Cleveland State University, or any of the other institutions of higher learning in the area, we welcome you to make this your home away from home.

The mission of Mount Olive is to bring the Gospel of Our Lord in preaching and the Sacraments. To accomplish this mission, Mount Olive uses the sacramental and liturgical worship of the Lutheran Church. You will find that Mount Olive aspires to worship that is beautiful, reverent, traditional and inspiring.

How We Worship
