Mount Olive Baptist Church was founded on March 11, 1885, with Rev. W.R. Clements serving as the first pastor. The church's initial site was chosen by a committee in the Northeast section of Atlanta, at the corner of Harris and Butler streets. The first church building was a wood frame structure. After 1920, the church was rebuilt with a brick edifice. In 1955, Mount Olive Baptist Church moved to its current location at the corner of Martin Luther King Drive and Barfield Avenue, where a new church building was completed.
