The Rev. Dr. G. Alan Brown II, OSL has served as the pastor of Solomon Church since July 2019. With over two decades of ministry experience in Tennessee and Ohio, he is deeply committed to celebrating the sacraments, preaching and teaching the gospel, and fostering a Christian community that is inclusive, welcoming, and loving to all.
Pastor Brown holds a Bachelor of Arts in Church Vocations, a Master of Divinity, and a Doctorate of Theology. He has also pursued postgraduate coursework in congregational leadership at Northwestern University’s Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary and the Methodist Theological School in Ohio.
Pastor Brown was honored with the Hoyt L. Hickman Award for excellence in liturgical scholarship and practice. He is a member of the Order of Saint Luke (OSL), a monastic order focused on sacramental and liturgical renewal in both the Church and the world.
When he’s not leading in ministry, Pastor Brown enjoys a variety of hobbies, including motorcycle riding, water skiing, cooking, BBQ-ing, brewing beer and wine, woodworking, and exploring a broad range of music—from jazz to bluegrass.
