We invite you to join us for a Divine Service!

In the Divine Service, Jesus Christ comes to us in His Word, Holy Absolution (the forgiveness of sins), and in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism and the Sacrament of the Altar (the Lord's Supper, or Holy Eucharist).  We invite you to join us to receive all the good gifts Christ comes to bring to us!

Sunday
  • 10:30 a.m. - Divine Service
​​Other services (Christmas, Holy Week, etc.) as announced here and on our Facebook page.

Fifth Sunday after Trinity - July 1
  • We will be using Matins for this service, so there will not be communion. 

Unless otherwise indicated, the Lord's Supper is received at every service.  For more information about what the Lord's Supper is and who may receive the Sacrament at this Altar, please see our Worship page.

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.

We are just a few miles from Cleveland's medical hub, the home of the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals.  We are also near University Circle, the home of Case Western Reserve University and Cleveland State University.  Because of our location, we regularly welcome patients and students and are happy to provide them with a church home away from home.

What We Believe

We are a confessional congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.  What do Lutherans believe, teach, and confess?

How We Worship

Because Our Lord Jesus Christ is physically present among us in the service, it determines how we worship.

Singing in worship is not just entertainment.  It teaches us what Scripture says and confesses what we believe.
