The Personnel Committee is delighted to welcome Olivia Blake as our new Ministry & Communications Assistant! Olivia is no stranger to First Baptist. She joined our church in 2024, and has quickly found her place in leadership with our Young Adult Ministry Team and as the teacher of the Converge Sunday School Class. Olivia’s work as Ministry & Communications Assistant will focus on serving as administrative support for the ministries of the church, including volunteer and staff support, oversight of our Realm database system, implementation of all regular communications in our newsletter, worship guide, website, and around the building, and general office assistance. Her 25 hours of work each week will mostly be spent at the front desk in the main office, Mondays through Thursdays. After some in-person training with Lena next week, Olivia will begin on June 1, and her new email will be olivia@firstonfifth.org.
A word from Olivia:
I’m excited and grateful to begin serving as the Ministry and Communications Assistant at First Baptist on Fifth. I joined this church two years ago after returning to my hometown following the completion of my master’s degree, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to continue growing and serving within this church family. Throughout my studies, I have gained experience in campus ministry leadership as well as in administrative and operational support, which has strengthened both my passion for ministry and my appreciation for meaningful organization behind the scenes. I look forward to supporting the ministries of our church through thoughtful communication, organization, and service, and I’m excited to serve alongside this congregation in this new role.We are thrilled to welcome Olivia in this role, and invite you to welcome her too!
