About Ashleigh
Ashleigh Smith is the Vice President and Co-Founder of Welcome Ministries. She is honored to serve in this role alongside her husband, Andy, with whom she has been married for nearly a decade. Together, they are the proud parents of three boys.
As both a mother and an educator, Ashleigh is passionate about helping children develop a real relationship with Jesus. She leads the Children's Bible Study at Welcome Ministries and also facilitates Spiritual and Leadership Development Training for the ministry's Executive Staff.
Ashleigh came to know the Lord and was baptized at a young age. While she walked with Jesus throughout her life, it wasn't until the Covid pandemic that she realized her need to fully surrender every area of her life to God. This season became a wake-up call that shifted her from control to complete trust.
Soon after, her sister-in-love invited her into a virtual Bible study community where the Lord reignited her passion and intimacy with Him. Since then, Ashleigh has been devoted to sharing her faith journey with humility, openness, and transparency.
