Rev. Yang came to Morrow Church and the Greater New Jersey United Methodist Conference from the Texas Conference in July 2025. He most recently as senior pastor of Westbury UMC - the most diverse church in the Texas Conference. His twenty years of ministry experiences align remarkably well with Morrow Church's witness to faith and action.

Pastor Danny grew up on the west side of Houston and went to the University of Texas and the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He met his wife, Susan, in middle school orchestra, and these days they spend a lot of time chasing after their two young adorable daughters, Ellie and Izzy.

Rev. Yang leaned on his gifts of preaching, visionary thinking, pastoral care and a commitment to social holiness through action to lead Westbury UMC to stability and renewal.  During his tenure, Westbury reversed years of deficit spending, completed a capital campaign, helped rebuild the community after Hurricane Harvey, voted to be a Reconciling Congregation (the second in the Texas Annual Conference), and sustained growth through the COVID pandemic.

Since leaving Texas and until his appointment at Morrow, Pastor Danny served as a lay minister at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chatham, NJ.
