Rev. Dr. Stuart Olyott was born in Lahore, Pakistan and currently lives in Bridgend, Wales with his wife Doris Valerie Keay. They have eight children. He became pastor of Belvidere Road Church in Liverpool after training at London Bible College and receiving his first degree from the University of London. The Liverpool pastorates occupied the periods 1967 to 1982 and 1991 to 1999. The intervening years were spent preaching the gospel in French in Lausanne, Switzerland and pioneering new churches in both France and Switzerland. Preaching both expository and topical material from within the Reformed tradition, Mr. Olyott’s preaching is a model of clarity and simplicity. His sermons contain a structure that is easily followed. He is currently working in troubled churches; hence his conference theme comes from fresh experience.
