William J Subash

Pastor, Teacher, and Seminary Professor.

I serve as the lead Pastor of Crossroad Church in Bangalore, India. In addition to pastoring the church, I also lead three other entities: Grow Gospel Initiatives, Grow Mercy Initiatives, and Hadash Exports and Facilities.

I became a follower of Jesus Christ in 1983, at the age of 19. Four years later, I left a brief career in plantation management to pursue full-time Christian ministry. Since then, I have been actively involved in church planting, teaching, and leadership development.

Alongside my pastoral responsibilities, I also teach Bible and Bible-related courses at various institutions in India and the United States.

My wife, Alice, and I live in Bangalore. We have two married children who reside in Dallas, Texas.
