About

T. Allen Burr knew he had been called into the ministry from a young age, roughly 16 years old. From the time he felt God’s call on his life, he began to study the Word deeply and to learn more about public speaking. Part of that learning process involved participating in the Assemblies of God’s Fine Arts Competition.

Allen participated in Fine Arts in several categories for five years. Three of the five years, he won the Merit Award in the Short Sermon Division and went on to compete at the national level in that category. Over the years, as he was preparing for Fine Arts, he asked several ministers and spiritual leaders to read over his sermons and help him to grow as a public speaker and especially as a minister of the Gospel. Due to the calling he felt from God and training he received through Fine Arts, Allen determined that Bible college was the next best step.

Allen attended North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He began as an Intercultural Studies (Missions) major but changed his major to American Sign Language. Midway through his fourth year, Allen came back to Indiana and enrolled at the University of Southern Indiana the next summer.

Not wanting to give up on his calling, Allen also enrolled in classes at Berean School of the Bible through Global University. Allen completed the necessary Bible and doctrinal classes to test to earn his Certificate of Ministry with the Indiana District Assemblies of God. He completed his test and interview in 2021 and was credentialed at the 2022 Indiana Assemblies of God District Council.

Allen served as a pulpit-fill minister within the A/G from 2020 to 2025, serving a handful of A/G churches in Southwest Indiana region as the pastors of those churches needed. In 2021, Allen also began the process of earning his Masters in Philosophy and Apologetics through Lincoln Christian University with a self-intended focus on the purpose and theology of suffering.

Allen graduated with a Master of Arts in Philosophy & Apologetics from LCU in 2024. Ministerially, he has focused on edifying pastors by providing pulpit-fill when they need to take a vacation, are sick or otherwise indisposed, or simply want to have a guest speaker. In 2025, Allen began shifting his ministry from an exclusively A/G context to include the Church of the Nazarene.

In November 2025, Allen became a member of the Church of the Nazarene and began the process of becoming an ordained minister within the Church of the Nazarene. In November 2025, he was recognized and granted a Local Minister’s License with the Church of the Nazarene and began offering pulpit-supply ministry to the Southwest Indiana District.
