Our Leaders

Pastor Joe Yow 

Lady Erika Yow

Pastor Joe Yow is a passionate preacher, visionary leader, mentor, and community advocate with a heart for seeing lives transformed through the power of Jesus Christ. He serves as the Senior Pastor of ReNewed Church in Waxahachie, Texas, where the ministry is committed to loving God, loving people, and creating a place where individuals and families can experience spiritual renewal, healing, growth, and purpose.

 

Pastor Yow believes that ministry extends far beyond the walls of the church. His calling is deeply rooted in reaching people where they are, strengthening families, developing leaders, and investing in the next generation. His ministry is marked by practical biblical teaching, energetic preaching, genuine compassion, and a desire to see people become everything God has called them to be.

 

His passion for young people and community development is also demonstrated through his work as the Founder and CEO of Youth Positive Impact Coaching (YPIC), an organization dedicated to supporting children, youth, and families through behavioral health services, mentoring, education, life-skills development, and community-based programs.

 

Before leading ReNewed Church, Pastor Yow served as Pastor of Gilgal Baptist Church of Dallas, continuing a legacy of ministry while helping position the congregation for a new season of growth and impact. Today, that vision continues through ReNewed Church with a renewed focus on worship, discipleship, outreach, youth, families, and community transformation.

 

Pastor Yow is devoted to his family and serves alongside his wife, First Lady Erika Yow. Together, they share a heart for ministry, family, and serving God’s people.

 

At the center of Pastor Yow’s ministry is a simple conviction: church should be a place where people can come as they are, encounter God, discover their purpose, and leave changed.

 

His desire is to build more than a growing church—he desires to build people, strengthen families, develop the next generation, and advance the Kingdom of God.
