"The Christian Church was located at Mount Olivet Cemetery. It was struck by lightning and burned. It was then moved to Center and a new church was built in 1914 where the present building is now." ~ City of Center
"Olivet Christian Church of Center, MO is a community of believers that established some 145 years ago in this then, bustling town. Over the years this church has seen many programs, missionary work, choirs, community service and diligent disciples working with passion to build the community of believers in God’s Kingdom.
"Over the years, our community of Center, MO has downsized as the world of technology and large industry abound. Center is a farming community and is a family environment where all lend a hand and work together for the good of the community and one another. The brisk growth of society and business has caused Center to become a very small town of approximately 508 in population.
"Olivet Christian Church continues to be strong over these years of change in its town. Our church continues to be active in community service, very active CWF whose primary mission service project is raising money for the P.E.T. mobile units, monthly congregational dinners, Thanksgiving Dinner shared with 2nd Christian Church of New London, Easter Sunrise Breakfast following that service, Good Friday Community Worship and Breakfast, and much more." ~ Disciples of Christ
