Mount Olive Baptist Church

Organized in September 1902 by Reverend G.W. Merriweather of San Antonio, the Mount Olive Baptist Church congregation first met in a small schoolhouse on Paschall Street. Its first structure was a small white frame building, but as the congregation grew, a larger modernized brick building was constructed in the 1960s. Along with providing spiritual guidance in the community, the church offered music lessons for youth, educational study groups, a mission chorus, a nutrition site for the elderly, transportation, and vacation bible school. For more than a century, the church has stood as a beacon of light in the Kerrville community.
