Rev. B. J. Brack

District Superintendant

Rev. B.J. Brack moved to Tennessee in 1998 after beginning his career as a local pastor in the Kentucky Annual Conference. After moving to Tennessee and being ordained in the Tennessee Conference, he served churches in Davidson and Montgomery counties before serving in the Conference Office the last year as the Ministry Associate in Administration.  

Over the course of the last year, he has achieved an Executive Certificate in Religious Fundraising, became a Fellow in Charitable Estate Planning, and worked on a Certificate in Church Administration. He also worked closely with Faith and Innovation to explore alternative building uses for our churches. In an environment where it is getting more difficult to fund operating budgets with tithes and offerings, it is vital that we work to form community partnerships and alternative funding plans so churches can be fruitful in their mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  

“I am passionate about the ministry of the local church and equipping ministers with the tools necessary to make disciples in their communities, “ said B.J. “I am excited to serve the church in this capacity.”  

B.J. is married to Laura and hey have two adult children, Alex and Jacob, who live in Nashville. If you are looking for the Brack family during hockey season, you might find them at the rink supporting their favorite team, the Nashville Predators.
