Bishop Orrick R. Quick is a transformational leader, nationally recognized motivational speaker, television personality, senior pastor, entrepreneur, educator, and visionary whose life story stands as a living testimony of faith, perseverance, miracles, and purpose. His journey is not simply one of success—it is a story of survival, divine destiny, and relentless determination to impact generations. Before Bishop Quick was even born, doctors advised his mother to abort him due to severe medical complications. His mother, Rosetta Marie Quick, had been diagnosed with lupus, and medical professionals warned that carrying the pregnancy could be dangerous. But in the face of fear and uncertainty, she chose faith over fear and trusted God beyond the doctor’s report. That decision became the beginning of a miraculous story that would one day inspire thousands around the world. At only five years old, Bishop Quick experienced another life-threatening tragedy when he was hit by a car. The situation appeared hopeless, and there was no breath in his body. Yet in that critical moment, it was his father, Bishop Alber Oliver Quick, whose unwavering faith became a turning point in his destiny. God spoke to his father and said, “If you stay close to your son, I will not let him die.” Believing God beyond what he saw naturally, Bishop Alber Oliver Quick scooped his son into his arms and refused to let go. Even in the face of death, he stood in faith—and God honored that faith by preserving Bishop Quick’s life. At the age of eleven, tragedy struck once again when Bishop Quick was thrown through the back windshield of a car during a devastating automobile accident. The vehicle flipped and landed on top of him. In the chaos of the accident, it was his mother, Rosetta Marie Quick, who saw him trapped underneath the overturned vehicle. Demonstrating extraordinary courage and unwavering faith, she lifted the car off of her son, turned him over onto his back, slapped him on his forehead, and commanded with authority: “LIVE!” The injuries were catastrophic. Bishop Quick fell into a coma, suffered severe swelling of the brain, and temporarily lost his eyesight due to the trauma. Doctors were uncertain whether he would survive, let alone recover fully. He remained hospitalized for eight weeks and later spent thirteen weeks confined in a full body cast while fighting to regain his strength and mobility. Yet even in the middle of impossible circumstances, faith prevailed. What should have destroyed him instead became part of the testimony that would one day inspire thousands around the world. Through the prayers, faith, and determination of his family—and the undeniable hand of God upon his life—Bishop Quick overcame every obstacle placed before him. Later in life, Bishop Quick endured another heartbreaking tragedy when his mother passed away in his arms at the age of fifteen. Combined with surviving multiple near-death experiences and even a house fire, these moments forged within him a deep compassion for people and an unshakable belief that pain can become purpose. One of the defining moments of Bishop Quick’s life occurred on December 9, 2016. After returning home from Burbank, California, where he was nationally recognized as a co-host on the television talk show The Preachers alongside Jamal Bryant, Dr. E. Dewey Smith, and John Gray, Bishop Quick and his family experienced a devastating house fire that destroyed their home. In the midst of watching everything around him burn, God spoke to him with a prophetic word that would forever shape his life and ministry: “Orrick, I am with you, and this will only be the fire that kindles the fire. I know this is hard, but greater is coming.” What appeared to be destruction became divine preparation. That moment deepened Bishop Quick’s faith and strengthened his conviction that God can use every tragedy as fuel for purpose and destiny. Rather than allowing hardship to define him, Bishop Quick transformed every obstacle into fuel for greatness. His powerful testimony and life-changing message have made him one of the most compelling and authentic communicators of this generation. He is widely known for his signature statement: “Never allow your past to have a meeting with your future without your potential being present.” He is also recognized for boldly declaring a message that has become central to his ministry: “You cannot give your heart to Jesus but then give your lifestyle to Moses.” Through this message, Bishop Quick passionately teaches the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, helping believers understand the finished work of Jesus Christ. His teaching emphasizes that Jesus is the Testator of the New Testament, and that every time believers read the New Testament, they are reading the Will and Testament of Jesus Christ—a covenant established through His death, burial, and resurrection. His revelation-centered teaching has helped countless individuals discover freedom from legalism and embrace the grace, identity, righteousness, and authority found in Christ. That message has inspired audiences across churches, schools, leadership conferences, athletic programs, television audiences, and community initiatives nationwide. Bishop Quick earned a football scholarship to North Carolina State University, where he graduated while continuing to develop the leadership, discipline, and perseverance that would later define his ministry, business ventures, and national speaking career. Bishop Quick gained national recognition as a co-host on the nationally syndicated television talk show The Preachers, where his authenticity, compassion, and wisdom impacted viewers throughout the country. His inspiring life story also led to two appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, where audiences witnessed the incredible testimony of a man who survived overwhelming odds through faith and perseverance. His speaking career reached historic heights when he won first place in The Great American Speakoff, the largest speaking competition in the United States, outperforming more than 30,000 participants. This monumental achievement placed him before some of the world’s most recognized voices in leadership and motivation, including Grant Cardone, Jesse Itzler, and legendary leadership expert John Maxwell, who served as one of the judges during the competition. During the event, John Maxwell was so impacted by Bishop Quick’s communication style and originality that he personally stated how much he enjoyed Bishop Quick’s quotes and even remarked that he might start using some of them himself. That moment became a powerful affirmation of Bishop Quick’s extraordinary gift for communication, leadership, and transformational speaking. His extraordinary communication gift also led to a powerful and unforgettable encounter with legendary motivational speaker Les Brown. After hearing Bishop Quick speak, Les Brown famously responded: “Who is your mother? You must be my son!” That moment further confirmed the undeniable impact, passion, and power carried within Bishop Quick’s voice and message. In 2020, following the tragic murder of George Floyd, Bishop Quick organized and led one of the largest peaceful prayer marches in the history of High Point, North Carolina, bringing together nearly 3,000 people in unity, prayer, and peace. Collaborating with multiple ministries, community leaders, and law enforcement officials, he helped bridge the gap between the community and police during a deeply divided time in America. Through Bishop Quick’s leadership, the Chief of Police of High Point publicly denounced police brutality, and officers from the department marched hand in hand alongside community members through the streets of High Point, declaring that what happened to George Floyd would not happen in their city. The citywide march became a powerful symbol of healing, reconciliation, accountability, and the unifying power of faith and prayer. Today, Bishop Quick serves as the Senior Pastor of New Covenant Church, a growing ministry dedicated to teaching the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and revealing the power, freedom, identity, and grace found in the New Covenant. Through passionate preaching, transformational leadership, and community outreach, he has become known for equipping people spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and practically. His ministry extends far beyond the pulpit. Bishop Quick has devoted years to mentoring youth, strengthening families, feeding communities, developing leaders, and creating opportunities that transform lives. As the founder of Oak Tree Publishing, Bishop Quick has become widely recognized for empowering children through literacy, leadership, and creativity. One of his most remarkable accomplishments was helping turn approximately 400 students at Triangle Lake Montessori Elementary School into published authors within a single school year—an extraordinary achievement that inspired educators, parents, and communities alike. Through this groundbreaking initiative, students discovered confidence, purpose, communication skills, and the belief that their voices and stories matter. His passion for youth empowerment also led to the creation of Project 400, a movement designed to help hundreds of children become published authors while building self-esteem, literacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills in the next generation. His vision for the next generation has expanded even further through the creation of KTA — Kingdom Trade Academy, a groundbreaking educational movement designed to redefine what education looks like for children. KTA is being developed as one of the first faith-based trade academies where students will graduate not only with academic knowledge, but with practical life skills, entrepreneurial training, leadership development, and real-world certifications. At Kingdom Trade Academy, children will learn valuable trades such as carpentry, electrical work, HVAC, plumbing, and construction, with the vision of students graduating prepared to become future general contractors and business owners. In addition, students will learn how to play multiple musical instruments, become published authors, receive public speaking and leadership training, and develop athletically through sports performance and fitness programs. This revolutionary model reflects Bishop Quick’s belief that children should be equipped to build, create, lead, communicate, innovate, and transform the world around them. As part of this historic vision, Bishop Quick and his ministry recently acquired a 240-seat theater facility, which will serve as a foundational space for the launch and development of Kingdom Trade Academy. This acquisition represents more than a building—it symbolizes the birth of a movement focused on raising up future leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, builders, and Kingdom-minded innovators. Bishop Quick’s spiritual journey has also taken him across the world to the Holy Land of Israel, where he walked in many of the very places Jesus walked and ministered. He preached in locations where Jesus Himself preached, including Caesarea Philippi—the historic place where Jesus declared: “Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Standing in the exact location where those words were spoken became a deeply transformational experience that strengthened his passion for preaching the Gospel with truth, boldness, and conviction. During his journey in Israel, Bishop Quick was also baptized in the Jordan River, further deepening his spiritual connection to the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ. Known for his dynamic communication style, Bishop Quick masterfully combines biblical truth, transformational storytelling, practical wisdom, leadership development, and motivational insight into messages that inspire people to rise above limitations and embrace purpose. Whether ministering in churches, schools, conferences, leadership events, or community programs, his message consistently empowers individuals to overcome adversity and pursue greatness through faith. Above all, Bishop Quick is a devoted husband to Ashley Theresa Quick, with whom he has shared 18 years of marriage, and together they have built a strong, faith-filled family with their four children: Victoria Quick, Kennedy Quick, Taylor Quick, and Orrick Romaine Quick Jr. His life and ministry are built upon faith, family, leadership, compassion, service, and transformation. As he enters this sacred season of episcopal consecration, Bishop Orrick R. Quick continues to stand as a visionary leader, transformational communicator, educator, pastor, mentor, and Kingdom builder whose life proves that no obstacle is greater than the power of faith. His mission remains clear: “To raise up people who know who they are, understand their God-given purpose, and possess the courage to transform both their lives and the world around them.”
