Pastor Brelyn Bowman

FCBI Class of 2015

Starting off as a spiritual child prodigy, Brelyn Bowman’s wisdom and commitment to Christ has produced success beyond her years. Brelyn is an author, minister, entrepreneur, and TV host whose passion and maturity have caused her to excel in ministry and entrepreneurship.

Her love and honor for God was taught to her in word and example by her parents, Drs. Mike and DeeDee Freeman. At just thirteen years old, she made a commitment to God and her parents to embrace purity and keep herself until marriage. And on October 10, 2015, Brelyn wed Grammy nominated gospel recording artist, Timothy Bowman, Jr. At the wedding reception, Brelyn presented her father with a framed certificate of purity signed by her doctor, certifying that she was still a virgin. Brelyn later posted a picture with her dad on Instagram of the special moment and overnight, it went viral!

Since, Brelyn has become a powerhouse both in the faith and influencer space. Since going viral in 2015, Brelyn has accumulated a large following on social media with nearly 300k followers who look to her for inspiration in faith, lifestyle content and a behind-the-scenes look into her everyday life. Ministering the Word of God with simplicity and power, she strives to continue to live a life that others can follow. In 2018, Brelyn was ordained into the office of Pastor.

Brelyn is the author of “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “No Ring, No Ting,” and, “Covered,” where, through scripture, targeted prayers and personal revelation, Brelyn offers life changing insight from personal experience on how to defeat anxiety and walk in freedom. In 2020, Brelyn answered the call of women who needed a refuge of grace and founded “The Grace Haven” (@thegracehaven); a community of women from around the globe who are seeking a safe sisterhood while pursuing their purpose.

Brelyn and husband Tim are the proud parents to Sofie Grace, Creswell Aaron, Celine Elle and Noa Alexander and together, they travel around the world sharing their life and testimony with others. Her continued elevation in ministry is a result of her intentional dedication, heart to serve and passion to make Jesus famous!
