How it all started...
Humble beginnings... William, Lydia, and Raven were a simple military family who found their genesis in Southern California in 2004 where William served as a young U.S. Marine and Lydia as a young sailor in the U.S. Navy. The two met, fell in love, got married, and shortly thereafter, Raven entered the world.
Sometime later, William and Lydia each individually developed a desire to devote their life to Christ and, as a team, decided to serve in the local church. In 2009, William received the call to preach and was trained and licensed by their local pastor to do the work of the ministry. Having received military orders to relocate, and this new calling to lead others to Christ, the Pollard family's ministry journey began, and they would follow God to wherever He would lead them to share the gospel message with others.

Expanding the vision...
Life in the military afforded the Pollard family the opportunity to serve in ministry in different capacities all over the world including places like Africa, Sweden, Japan, and here in the USA. Not only did they serve in local churches, but they also began their own gatherings.
Renewed Mind was birthed from the Pollard's unique approach to ministry which focused on creating relationships centered on God's Word and authentic worship apart from cultural Christianity.

Where we are headed...
The Pollards served as the senior leaders of the historical Calvary International Church of God in Christ in Okinawa, Japan from 2019 until William's military retirement and relocation in 2022. The family currently resides in the Metro Atlanta area.
Their new mission is to serve the local community and transform lives by rethinking church and sharing the Renewed Mind vision of authentic worship, genuine Christian fellowship, and the Word of God.
