Stuart Olyott (b. 1942) [his audio testimony is below] began his pastoral ministry at Poplar Baptist Church, London, in 1964 after studying at London Bible College and receiving his first degree from the University of London.  He has received several other degrees since.. His Liverpool pastorates at Belvidere Road Church occupied the periods 1967 -1982 and 1991 -1999. The intervening years were spent preaching the gospel in French in Lausanne, Switzerland, and pioneering new churches in both France and Switzerland. Since 1999 Stuart has spent his time lecturing in seminaries, pastoring pastors in Wales and elsewhere, and helping churches in trouble. These ministries continue, although Stuart has been semi-retired since 2008.  Married to Doll in 1970, he became a widower in 2017.  He and Doll have eight sons, as well as grandchildren too numerous to count!

Preaching both expository and topical material from within the Reformed tradition, Stuart Olyott displays a consistently high standard of clarity and power. His sermons are so well prepared that the structure is easily followed. There has been a steady demand for recordings of his sermons. Letters and e-mails received by the church during and after his pastorates have often come from people who have never met him, many of whom live outside the U.K.
