Your Pastor

Reverend Kenneth & First Lady Claudia Brown
When Kenneth and Claudia first came to Converse First Baptist Church, they simply wanted to serve wherever God led. In His perfect plan, that calling grew into a ministry of leadership, shepherding, and discipleship within the church family.
Pastor Kenneth has a passion for sharing God's Word in a way that is biblical, practical, and easy to understand. He is gifted in connecting Scripture to everyday life, helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and discover God's purpose for their lives. His heart is to see people experience transformation through the Gospel and find hope, healing, and direction through Christ.
Claudia has a deep love for the Lord and a passion for encouraging others in their faith. Through her leadership in women's ministry, she helps women from all backgrounds grow closer to God, build meaningful relationships, and live out their faith each day. Her compassionate spirit and servant's heart have been a blessing to countless women throughout the years.
Together, Kenneth and Claudia have faithfully shared the hope of Jesus in communities across the country, serving wherever God opened doors. Their desire is simple: to help people know Christ, grow in Christ, and experience the life-changing love of God.
They would love the opportunity to meet you and welcome you to the Converse First Baptist Church family.
