The Rev. Ogilvie celebrates more than 60 rewarding years as a preacher. His initial interest in public speaking was piqued when he was a teenager. He was taken under the wing of a prominent speech teacher, John Davies. Under Mr. Davies' instruction, during his high school years he was able to win several speech contests, and in his senior year, write and deliver an oration for a National Original Oratorical Contest which earned him a four-year scholarship enabling him to attend Lake Forest College. He committed his life to Christ while attending Lake Forest College, where he also obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. He then went on to study for the ministry at the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. During his studies, he was deeply inspired by the writings of Dr. James Stewart and Dr. Thomas F. Torrance, who later became his mentors at New College, School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. After completing his studies in Scotland, Rev. Ogilvie became the first pastor of the Winnetka Presbyterian Church in Winnetka, IL, where he served for six years. Throughout his career, Rev.

Ogilvie holds a Master of Theology degree from the Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, as well as eight Doctor of Divinity degrees, two Doctor of Humane Letters degrees, one Doctor of Letters degree, two Doctor of Laws degrees and one Doctor of Sacred Theology, among several other notable diplomas. As a testament to his contributions as an influential pastor, the Fuller Theological Seminary established the Lloyd John Ogilvie Chair of Preaching, and also a Lloyd John Ogilvie Institute of Preaching for preachers across the nation, providing conferences, local small groups, and inspirational, continuing education. He has also been named Preacher of the Year in Media, received the Gold Medallion Book Award for his book "Making Stress Work For You," and was recognized as "One of the 12 Most Effective Preachers in the English-Speaking World" by Baylor University.
