Past & Present
As new owners of what was once known as the yoga ashram, Olivet Assembly Incorporated has taken over the property and is committed to offer care and support for anyone in the Central Coast community who are in a difficult season in their life.
For the Evangelical Christian church group, the property will be dual purposed: as an administrative national church headquarter, and also a facility to provide services and assistance to those around us.
To those who’s had fond memories of the community life at 300 Mangrove Creed Road before but were also surprised and saddened by the unveil of its tragic past, OA is now writing a new history both in its purpose and in renovating the existing facilities.
