1 - CELEBRATING 115 YEARS


To Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church:

Our 115th Church Anniversary theme based on Psalm18:32-33 is: “Made Strong and Made to Stand bythe Power of God.”

This theme puts the credit for Mount Olive’scontinuance utterly unto the Lord. Without His steadyhand to put us all here and then to effect in us thewillingness to serve, the readiness to worship Him,and the steadfastness to uphold His word to the worldaround us, we most assuredly would have fallen anddied off long ago.

My heart is filled with great joy for us as a family asthe Lord, our God, has demonstrated a continuing

supernatural power to raise us up to places of great success in the ministry ofHis blessed word. With each passing day, and each milestone we pass, it isevident all around us that we are indeed blessed of Him and highly favored.

As with any endeavor of great worth, we have encountered difficulties, but theLord helped us; we’ve had moments of misunderstanding, but He has causedus to find the shared goals and objectives; and we’ve had moments ofdisappointment, but the Lord has given us reason to shout His praises.

These experiences validate and affirm that we, as the people of God, are indeedmade strong and are made to stand by the power of the Living God. For whenwe serve the Lord with open hearts and willing minds, His eternal power andglory are shed abroad upon us.

Congratulations on this 115th Church Anniversary, and let us celebrate togetherand pray that He will continue to use all of us in and for His eternal glory. Weare to serve the next generation. Keep standing, and keep on serving!!

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultlessbefore the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God ourSaviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.Amen.” (Jude 24-25)

In the early part of 1898, Mrs. Tabytha Watson and her two children moved from Gainsville, Texas toAlbuquerque, New Mexico. They did not find a Baptist Church in the town or state, so they worshippedwith the African Methodist Episcopal Church for about five months.

In September, being inspired by her heavenly Father, Mrs. Watson started conducting Sunday School andprayer meetings in her home at 4th and Copper Avenue, then from these meetings a Baptist Church wasorganized and named Mount Olive Baptist Church. Rev. Gladden came from Colorado Springs, Colorado andjoined Ms. Watson and those original members. They raised $135 to purchase a lot at 510 Lead Avenue. Awhite frame hall was placed on the back of the lot where church services were held. Rev. J.B. Bell fromPhoenix, Arizona was called to pastor the church in 1900. Baptismal services were performed in the Rio GrandeRiver until a pool was built in the hall. The church faithfully prayed, worshipped and studied. Eventually, thechurch had enough money to start building a new brick building. In 1909, the church building was finished in thefront of that lot. The hall in back of the church was used as an annex.

The church was incorporated with the following persons on the charter: Alexander E. Reynolds, Kent Penman,Mamie Green, Daniel Austin and John Collins. The original congregation included the Bramlett, Collins, Watson,Watts, Richard and Lott families. Brother Penman was Sunday School Superintendent, Brother Lott was choirdirector with his wife as organist – an old pump organ had been donated. Brother D.A. Austin, John Collins,F.D. Faucett and A.J. Clayton were Deacons. Brothers Vance Green, F.D. Faucett and E.L. Carson wereTrustees.

In 1934, the lot at 508 Lead Avenue was purchased. A parsonage was built for a pastor to live in. The whiteframe hall at the back end of the church was sold. Later, a house at 512 Lead Avenue was purchased, remodeled,and converted into Sunday School rooms, rest rooms, a large dining room, and kitchen.

Every Fourth of July, the church held a picnic for the children and adults at the Rio Grande Park, WitcombSprings area or Bear Canyon area (located in the Sandia Mountains). In those early days, the transportation wasby stagecoach. Everyone especially enjoyed riding the Jumbo Stagecoach line. The African Methodist EpiscopalChurch and Mount Olive Baptist Church enjoyed many social events together.

Several Pastors were called to lead Mount Olive until in 1968, Rev. W.C. Trotter was called as Mount Olive’sPastor. In 1970, the properties at 508, 510, and 512 Lead was sold. The property at 2401 University Boulevardwas purchased and ground breaking ceremonies took place the same year. The first building, the Ralph BuncheCultural Center, was completed; and on February 17, 1977 the present sanctuary was dedicated. Mount Olivecan be thankful to God for Rev. and Sister Trotter’s leadership, dedication and vision in these accomplishments.The Trotters retired in 1980.

In 1981, Rev. Del Phillips was called and served Mount Olive as pastor until 1985. Rev. Charles Becknell waspastor from 1988 until 1990. Rev. Lawrence W. George, from Detroit, Michigan, was pastor from 1992 until1995. Rev. John Riley served faithfully as interim pastor from 1995 to 1997. Rev. Stephen Billingslea becamePastor in August of 1997 and served until December 2002. Rev. Michael Sumbry was called and has beenserving as pastor since November 2004.

In September of 2013, Mount Olive will celebrate its 115th anniversary. We must continue to “Trust God for aglorious future as we move forward in prayer.”
