Our pastor

Rev. Daniel Asibuoh-Sarpong, received a call to serve God at a youthful age. As a young man,  he helped establish three churches in Ghana, West Africa and served as a vice president of the  Presbyterian/Methodist church students union. For more than two decades, God has used Pastor  Daniel in multiple positions of transformational ministry in the life of the church and the society  at large.   Rev. Daniel answered his call to full-time ministry in 2014. Prior to his appointment at St. Paul and First Jamaica, Queens United Methodist Church, (UMC), he served at Derby UMC, CT as a  minister in charge. He has also served as ministerial assistant for youth and young adult  ministries at First UMC, Mount Vernon, NY and held various positions and offices in the Ghana  UMC, the Bronx, NY. While serving at the Ghana United Methodist church as a lay leader, he  helped established another church at Yonkers, NY. Active in the community, he is a member of  the Christian Clergy serving in the Borough of Queens, City of New York, and a member of  Federal Latin American Chaplains Association International of the State of New York. On the  New York Annual Conference and District levels, he served as a member of the Metropolitan District on the Superintendency Committee.   Rev. Daniel is a product of Lehman College, City University of New York and Touro Graduate  School of Business, New York with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. Spurred  on by his interest in ministry, he enrolled at New York Theological Seminary and United  Theological Seminary and obtained a master's degree in divinity. By dint of hard work, dedication, and discipline, he developed a special interest in Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) while  completing his field ministry requirements. He currently holds Board Certified Chaplain (BCC) and Certificate of Ecclesiastical Endorsement from the United Methodist Endorsing Agency in  the Division of Ordained Ministry of the Board of Higher Education and Ministry of the United  Methodist Church. He is married to Mercy, and they are proud parents of four children: Michael, Tina, Edmund, and  Evangel. Pastor Daniel loves to work in the Lord’s vineyard, and he is most thankful and grateful  to God for his life, family and all the people God has placed in his life throughout his Christian  journey.
