Pastor Bryant, who served as pastor of Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore before leading New Birth in Atlanta, reflected on his journey from singlehood to marriage with heartfelt words.  

“Six years ago, I walked into New Birth as a single pastor. Today, I stand here as a husband,” he said. 

The couple wed on Nov. 14 at the Waldorf Astoria Atlanta and held a reception at the Porsche Experience, with Pastor Bryant citing the appropriateness, as he claimed 2025 as the year of acceleration.

Tears flowed as Dr. Karri Bryant, who addressed the guests. With poise and passion, she expressed gratitude to God and her unwavering love for her husband.  

“I believe this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes,” Dr. Bryant shared. “I had no clue when I arrived at New Birth four years ago that this was part of God’s plan for me. He has a way of keeping His promises beyond our imagination.”  

“I deeply love me some Jamal Harris Bryant,” she declared. “He is not only my husband, but my leader, my Lord. I submit my life, name and ministry to him.”  

The night quickly transitioned from their remarks to celebration, with live music and DJ Nutty on hand to spin house and trap music—a nod to Baltimore and Atlanta’s vibrant music culture.
