Senior Pastor, God’s Redeeming Temple International

Pastor Yorie Gipson is a woman whose life is a living testament to the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. From a turbulent past to the pulpit of one of the most dynamic teaching and deliverance ministries in the Atlanta region, her story is one of radical transformation, unwavering faith, and extraordinary purpose.

A native of Miami, Florida, Pastor Gipson currently serves as the Senior Pastor of God’s Redeeming Temple International (GRT International) in Norcross, Georgia. She carries multiple powerful callings, Educator, Counselor, Motivational Speaker, Prophetess, and Life Coach and channels them all toward a single mission: holistic spiritual healing and whole-life transformation for individuals, families, and communities.

In 1990, Pastor Gipson made a life-defining decision, walking away from seven years of involvement in street life to answer a divine calling on her heart. That calling was fully activated in 2014 when she answered God’s call to ministry, and she has never looked back. Today, she leads a thriving congregation, a growing online church community, and a worldwide ministry audience that spans continents.

Her heart for the underserved is seen clearly in her work as a former third-grade educator and as the founder of Pushing Towards Excellence, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that hosts an annual book bag drive for children in under-resourced communities. In February 2023, her years of quiet community service received national recognition when President Biden awarded her the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, a reflection of the countless lives she has touched.

As the founder of Simply One Communications, Pastor Gipson offers professional counseling and coaching services including Individual Counseling, Pre-Marital and Marriage Counseling, Adolescent Counseling, and Life Coaching, bringing the wisdom of God’s Word to bear on life’s most personal challenges.

In the Summer of 2023, Pastor Gipson released her first book, “My Quiet Time with God: 30 Daily Devotionals to Jump Start Your Day” a Spirit-inspired resource for believers hungry to deepen their daily walk with God.

Her ministry platform continues to expand through television, where she broadcasts the Gospel on The Now Network every Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM, reaching over 56 million households across the nation. Her family is central to her life and ministry, including her youngest daughter, Davana affectionately known as “Pretty Vee” A media and TV personality.

Pastor Yorie Gipson’s legacy is one of transformation, courage, and unshakeable faith. Her life and ministry stand as proof that no matter where you’ve been, God’s redemption is real, His calling is irreversible, and your best chapters are still ahead.
