You're Welcome Here
Visiting Olivet Moravian
At Olivet Moravian, a handshake and a warm smile await you. We have been serving the Winston-Salem area for more than 150 years! We invite you to visit, worship with us, and join in our efforts to serve the surrounding community.
What to expect when you visit.
Sunday Morning Worship
We offer a traditional Moravian style service on Sunday mornings at 10am, with hymns and liturgies from the Moravian Book of Worship. Our children have a special teaching time in service before heading off to their classrooms, then a Gospel sermon is preached by the pastor and occasionally a guest speaker.
Holy Communion
Communion is offered around eight times during the year, and all professing Christians are welcome to participate.
Lovefeasts
Several times during the year, a Lovefeast is held. This is when the worshiper is served a mug of coffee and a sweet bun. The lovefeast dates back to 1727 when the early Moravians were befriended by Count Nicholas Von Zinzendorf on his estate in Saxony. At that time, they enjoyed a simple meal, and therefore the tradition has continued for almost 300 years.
