A pastor’s heart. A leader’s vision.

Pastoral leadership

Dr. Bartholomew Orr is the Senior Pastor of Brown Missionary Baptist Church, where he has served since January 25, 1989. Under his leadership, the church has experienced tremendous growth, spiritually and numerically.

Despite a large church setting, Pastor Orr works diligently to ensure that Brown maintains a “family-like” atmosphere. He is accessible to his congregation, and members take pride in receiving a yearly birthday call from their pastor.

Ministry focus

Pastor Orr is committed to serving the Mid-South and beyond through community revitalization, wholistic ministry and spiritual transformation.

He received his Doctorate Degree in Ministry from Union University and has always used his passion for education to train and empower other ministers. A dynamic writer, he is the author of three books. His latest, Outside The Box, outlines ways to innovate change in order to propel you and your ministry to the next level.

Pastor Orr has had the opportunity to share the gospel with diverse audiences around the world.
