Although our staff and lay leadership come from diverse backgrounds and experience, they have one thing in common. Each is committed to sharing the Good News that
“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Pastor Albers is the newest addition to Mount Olive’s staff and a transplant to Omaha from South Dakota. Before moving west, Pastor Albers spent most of his life growing up in northwest Indiana and traveling between Chicago, IL, and Memphis, TN to see family. He is a graduate of Valparaiso University and Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and is beyond thankful for the countless opportunities and blessings God gave him during those years. When not in the office, Pastor is either walking with his dog Murphy or enjoying one of his hobbies: renovation projects, carpentry, or puzzles.

Bonnie’s mother invited her to Mount Olive as an adult. In Bonnie’s words, “It has proved to be a great church family for me.” Prior to retiring as a Contract Manager for Lincoln Financial Group, Bonnie crafted group health and life insurance policy provisions (which required regulatory approval from various state Department of Insurance regulators). Since retirement Bonnie spends her time traveling, working in her yard, enjoying the company of her friends, and (of course) keeping track of Mount Olive’s income and expenses.
