Mount Olive is a township of about 29,000 in the west of Morris County.
Morris County was formed in 1739 — more than sixty years before New Jersey passed its first abolition act, and more than a century before the state stopped holding people. That arithmetic is the point: slavery here was not a brief early episode the county outgrew, but the arrangement in place for most of the time the county has existed. The 1804 act freed nobody living, the 1846 act renamed the enslaved as "apprentices" bound to their owners, and eighteen people were still held in New Jersey in 1860.

Slavery in New Jersey was not a brief early episode that the counties outgrew; it was the arrangement in place for most of the time these counties have existed.
Abortion reporting to the CDC is voluntary, and New Jersey is one of four jurisdictions that declines. Its own Department of Health publishes no count of induced terminations, by county or statewide. The state that wrote abortion access into its statutes does not record how often it happens.
There is no figure for Mount Olive, or for Morris County, because there is no figure for anywhere in New Jersey. The best available independent estimate is 61,200 abortions provided by clinicians statewide in 2025.

Congregations we know of in Mount Olive Township that have taken a public abolitionist position — not simply a pro-life one.
We are not aware of a publicly abolitionist church in Mount Olive Township. We read every New Jersey congregation in the directory we work from — 106 of them — and found one in the whole state, in Glassboro. Abolitionists Rising, the movement's own national organisation, lists the same single church on its New Jersey page and no others. That is not a gap in the research. It is the situation.
If your church has taken a public position on abolition — from the pulpit, in a resolution, or in its own published words — tell us and we will verify it and list it here.
