Brandon Brown, Pastor

After growing up in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, I enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2005, just two years after OIF began. The military brought me to do different places in the U.S.—Texas, Georgia, California—as well as places around the world: two deployments to Iraq, one in Turkey.

February 20th, 2011 was the biggest day of my life, the day God saved me from Sin and Death. Years of addictions, pursuing sin had all ended the moment I called on Jesus to save me. I was alive.

Having an insatiable desire to grow and to become a pastor, I finished my contract with the Army, packed my bags and flew to Louisville, Kentucky to attend Boyce College and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I spent the next five and a half years earning a BA and M.Div in biblical and theological studies.

My beloved wife, Margie Brown, and I have been blessed to have two daughters: Genesis and Selah. We are excited to be here and to serve Grace Community Church.
