Oliver was raised in the Pacific Northwest by two loving, Christian parents. He was baptized as an infant and grew up in the church. At fourteen, he began to feel a sense of calling to the ministry. During high school and college, that sense of calling grew with new opportunities to serve.

In his first year at Whitworth University (Spokane, WA), Oliver became a member of a local PCA church and began teaching the middle and high schoolers. While in college, Oliver met his lovely wife Elizabeth (Liza). They graduated from Whitworth in May of 2025 and got married a week later.

After graduating, Oliver served as a pastoral intern in Spokane and is now enrolled at RTS in pursuit of a Master of Divinity degree.

Oliver enjoys cycling, cooking, and reading books aloud with his wife, Liza.
