WHO ARE WE?
Founded in 1904, Thunder Swamp Church is the oldest Pentecostal Holiness church in the Mount Olive, NC area. We are proud of our heritage and excited about our future. Our name comes from our location at 1519 Thunder Swamp Road. We have deep roots and a big heart for God and our community. Our worship services are traditional but flexible and open to contemporary styles.
OUR VISION
By God’s grace, we will be a multigenerational church of fully committed disciples of Jesus.
Our Pastor:
We are currently in search of a new pastor. During this interim period, we are continuing on with the ministry of the church and welcoming guest preachers each week.
