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. To that end, Impact was listed at number 5 in "25 Fastest-Growing Large United Methodist Churches," 2018 Edition. 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.
As we look forward to our Sunday worship service on November 14, we invite you to watch this preview video by Rev. Olu Brown.
