Chip Ingram - Wall of Honor

ALUMNI “WALL OF HONOR” The West Liberty University Alumni Board of Directors instituted a project in 1990 to demonstrate to current students, visitors, and friends that the college has some very successful graduates. This project, known as the “Alumni Wall of Honor,” is a dramatic way to honor some of the college’s most distinguished alumni and display pride in the accomplishments of its graduates. The concept was suggested by then Associate Professor of Physics Robert W. Schramm, who is a 1958 graduate of the college and a 2002 Alumni Wall of Honor inductee. The Alumni Wall of Honor is housed in the south end of the Union known as the Alumni Lounge.

WLU: Graduated 1976work

Immediately after graduating from West Liberty State College in 1976, with the dream of teaching and coaching basketball, Chip Ingram played on three international basketball teams throughout South America and the Orient against Olympic teams.
  
While there, he caught a vision for something he never dreamed of … that God could use an ordinary person like him to accomplish extraordinary things. He realized that his coaching experience and education from WLU actually prepared him to “coach” people for Christ and become a pastor.
  
From that time on, Ingram has been on quite the journey. He started out at a small rural Texan church where it grew from 30 to 500 people, and then moved to California where he led a church congregation of 1,000 that grew to 4,000. It was there that God took those coaching and communication skills way beyond his wildest dreams. Birthed out of his passion to help Christians live like Christians, Ingram founded “Living on the Edge,” a teaching and discipleship ministry that is heard over 900 radio outlets in the USA, has a million weekly listeners, and is broadcasted on television in all the Arab- and Russian-speaking countries of the world, along with parts of Africa and South East Asia. He is also the author of 12 books, including his latest, Living on the Edge: Dare to Experience True Spirituality.
  
Ingram currently serves as the senior pastor of Venture Church in Los Gatos, Calif., where he resides with his wife, Theresa. They are the parents of four grown children and grandparents to eight grandchildren.
