About Pastor
Ashish Singh
A brief biography of Ashish Singh
Growing up, I was actively involved at Indo-Pak UMC, a church that my father planted (yes, I’m a pastor’s kid!), where I learned from an early age that the best way to live my life is by rooting my identity in Christ and being in service to others. By actively volunteering for various church activities, participating in worship and Bible study, coordinating volunteer opportunities, and being part of a loving community, I was able to see that the church could truly be an agent of personal and societal transformation.
Due in large part to my experiences growing up and a persistent conviction that God was calling me into full time ministry, in 2014 I decided to leave my corporate career and pursue a Master of Divinity at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary. Prior to my ministry here, I served at the United Methodist Church of Libertyville.
I love building relationships and have a passion for exploring ways in which God can do some powerful things when we utilize our individual gifts and work together to be a community of love and service. I love hearing and supporting people’s unique and creative ideas for ways in which to better engage and live out our faith.
My wife Sabrina and I have two children, Nathan who is fourteen years old, and Natalie, who is twelve. As a family we love trying out new restaurants, hiking, and just finding any opportunity to spend time together.
In my free time I enjoy basketball, pickleball and golf. I also love basketball and watching NBA games. Being an avid Chicago Bull’s fan, I like to talk about the good old days and critique the current management by pretending that somehow, I would be able to do a better job.
