Rev. Olu Brown is the founder and lead pastor of Impact Church in Atlanta, GA., a young congregation in the East Point community of Metropolitan Atlanta (impactdcd.org). With Olu’s vision and leadership, since its founding in 2007, Impact has grown from a core team of 25 people to more than 5,000 online viewers with a $4M budget, making it one of the fastest-growing United Methodist Churches (UMC) and new church starts in the United States.

He will be retiring as lead pastor in June 2022 to transition into a new role to help grow churches, coach business leaders, church leaders, and church teams.
