Olive Baptist Church on Mt. Olive Chuch Road at Highway 37 East is growing. This new building will house a preschool and children’s education facility. Measuring more than 10,000 square feet, the building is scheduled to be finished this summer, according to Mt. Olive’s pastor, the Rev. Andy Cashwell. It will include classrooms, plenty of restroom facilities and a large lobby for a gathering place. ‘This will make room for our adult Sunday school classes as well,’ Cashwell said, indicating the adults would spread into the area now housing the children’s programs.
