Reverend Dr. William G. Ingram

Will was inducted as the Senior Minister at St. Andrew’s in September 2007.

Prior to St. Andrew’s, he served as the minister of Morningside-High Park (MHP), Toronto from 1996 – 2007. After graduating from Knox College with a Master’s of Divinity degree in 1996 he completed a Master’s of Theology degree from the University of Toronto in Biblical Studies and then his Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree in 2017 from the McCormick Theological Seminary at the University of Chicago.

Will has served as the Moderator of the Presbytery of West Toronto (2004-2005) and the Presbytery of East Toronto (2011-2012), and on the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches (2006-2013).

Outside of the church, Will loves sailing, travelling, canoeing, motorcycle riding, cooking, reading, writing, playing guitar, and has completed 8 marathons.

His greatest joy, however, is the time that he spends with his wife Lesley and his three kids — Kate, Madeline and Spencer
