Ockenga, Harold John, 1905-1985

 
Ockenga was born in Chicago, began his ministry in New Jersey, and pastored the Park Street Church in Boston from 1937-1969. He also helped to found the National Association of Evangelicals and Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and served as president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. His time in Appalachia took place in Pittsburgh from 1830-36, when he was a Ph.D. student in philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh, Clarence Macartney’s pastoral assistant at the First Presbyterian Church (1931), and pastor of Pojnt Breeze Presbyterian (1931-36). He also visited the region in 1958, when he participated in the Appalachian Preaching Mission in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Additional information can be found on Ockenga’s Wikipedia page, a biographical sketch on the Gordon College website, and Garth M. Rosell’s 2006 article in Christian History magazine.
