Rev. Greg L. Oliver, Sr.

Pastor

Pastor of Mount Canaan Baptist Church, Shreveport, LA

Greg Lamar Oliver, Sr. is a man on a mission to advance the Kingdom of God. Pastoring and teaching reside in the heart of Pastor Oliver. This is evident as he led the growing congregation of True Vine Baptist Church for 22 years.

Born as the youngest of eight children to the late Rev. Dr. L. B. Oliver and the late Margaret Long Oliver, he grew up worshipping God and fellowshipping with churches up and down the river in the city of Sicily Island, La. Upon graduating from the Concordia Parish School System, he attended Alcorn State University and later, the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He is a powerful voice that is heard across the nation as he teaches and preaches at various seminars, workshops, revivals, and special programs. His love for God is demonstrated through his expository preaching methods and his exemplary leadership style.

With a desire to spread the “Good News” in the northern region of Louisiana, Pastor Oliver spread True Vine’s worship opportunity into the city of Bastrop, LA when he established True Vine Baptist Church North. This community can now experience the presence of God each Sunday morning during a spirit-led worship service. It is without doubt that Pastor Greg L. Oliver, Sr. was a shepherd sent by God to lead the people of The Vine. On September 2, 2018, God gave Pastor Oliver a new assignment. It was on this day that he was installed as the 17th Pastor of the Mount Canaan Baptist Church. The church assignments may have changed, but the mission to build the Kingdom of God remains the same.

He is God’s Chosen Leader for Such a Time as This, the husband of Alisha Oliver, and the father of Greg Lamar Oliver, II and Belinda Alise Oliver.
