What MT OLIVET GOSPEL CHURCH does

Mt Olivet Gospel Church is a Pentecostal, missions-minded religious nonprofit founded in 1958 by the late Reverend Felix J. Ferguson and currently led by Bishop Sheldon Ferguson and Lady Sherley Ferguson. The organization operates from a single domestic site at 33-27 97th Street in Corona, New York, serving a local congregation and surrounding community through Sunday worship services, Bible studies, youth programs, food pantry distribution (Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm), bus ministry transportation, outreach Bible study at residential drug rehabilitation programs and correctional facilities, and a Christian counseling ministry.

The church operates a portfolio of more than 25 distinct ministry programs spanning worship services, age- and gender-specific ministries (men, women, youth, seniors, singles, single parents, married couples), family support services, spiritual counseling, and evangelism through door-to-door soul winning. It runs the Mt. Olivet School of Ministry (MOSOM), a Bible school affiliated with Oral Roberts University offering classes from September to May. Internationally, the church maintains a wholly-owned mission in Liberia that includes the Mt. Olivet Gospel Bible Church (400+ seating capacity) and the Bishop James Wellington Ferguson Elementary, Junior and Senior High School, reported at 600-800 student enrollment. The church also supports Gospel for Asia and Philippians ministries extending mission reach to other countries.

The organization's revenue model consists entirely of voluntary donations and tithes from congregants, accepted in-person and digitally through Zelle ([email protected]). The church is privately funded, with no disclosed institutional investors, debt instruments, or parent entity. It maintains three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (Mt. Olivet Bible Church, Bishop James Wellington Ferguson Elem. Jr. and Sr. High School, and Mt. Olivet School of Ministry) and pursues a community-led go-to-market focused on local outreach and word-of-mouth rather than formal marketing channels. No proprietary technology, mobile applications, or digital platforms are disclosed.
