Ingle serves as the Dean of the College of Ministry at Northwest University, where he is passionate about educating and preparing students for Christ centered leadership and service. He was appointed to lead the College of Ministry in the fall of 2004. Dr. Ingle’s professional ministry experience includes eight years as a college professor and fifteen years of pastoral leadership to two congregations – one in Los Angeles, California and the other in Chicago, Illinois. His pastoral focus was to lead turn-around-churches. He loved helping people discover their unique God given design, and with that knowledge, make a significant contribution to a Jesus-centered missional ministry to the surrounding community. Prior to entering professional ministry, Dr. Ingle spent ten years as a television sports anchor for NBC and CBS. He started as an anchor at the age of 18 in Bakersfield, California, and finished his career in Los Angeles. He covered many professional sports teams, and interviewed hundreds of notable people in the professional sports world including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pete Rose, Muhammad Ali and Carl Lewis. An ordained Assemblies of God minister since 1988, Pastor Ingle’s educational credentials include: a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism and a Masters in Theological Studies from Vanguard University of Southern California; and a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. Dr. Ingle has served as Presbyter of the Central Coast Section of The Southern California Assemblies of God, and on the board of several Assemblies of God ministries and para-church organizations. Dr. Ingle’s experience in the broadcasting industry, along with his pastoral experience, allows him to bring a rare blend of depth, humor and practical insight to every audience. He makes the Bible come alive with uplifting messages that are relevant, practical, and anything but boring! In addition to his duties at Northwest University, Ingle serves as a church coach/consultant and conference speaker. He is passionate about investing his time with church leadership teams, helping them develop their unique gifts and strengths so they can better serve their communities. A California native, Dr. Ingle and his wife, Karen reside in Issaquah, Washington and have three teenagers – Davis, Kaila, and Paxton, and two dogs – Lexi and Zoe. He loves to cycle, run, lift weights, play basketball, and stay as active as possible. When he has down time, you can find him reading books on leadership or watching NBA League Pass. |
