Pastor
Shirley Robinson Brown was born and raised in West Virginia. She relocated to the state of North Carolina in 1989. She is married to Fred Edward Brown, Jr. Together they have five children and one granddaughter. Pastor Brown also has a host of godchildren from state to state.
At an early age, Shirley Brown's call to ministry was nurtured. Her grandmother, the late Evangelist Ilar Gilchrist, reared her in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Pastor Brown's Christian walk has spanned from A.M.E. and Pentecostal Holiness, to the tent services of A.A. Allen, where she received her first impartation. This significant impartation led to the revelation of the mandate of deliverance ministry upon her life.
Dr. Brown has a diverse ministerial background. She has preached, conducted workshops, taught seminars, and led retreats in numerous churches and conferences. Her missionary and Pastoral Care interests have led her to national locations to be of service.
Pastor Brown was confirmed as a Minister of the Gospel on October 18, 1996, under the ecclesiastical order of the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship. She received her undergraduate degree in Medical Technology and has dedicated over twenty-five years of service to that profession. Her formal theological training began with Rhema Bible School where she received a certificate in Biblical Studies. She continued to study her passion for missions and completed a Missionary Candidacy from Christians in Action located in Woodland, California. Dr. Brown pursued her Master's Degree in Biblical Studies, and in 2006, she received her Doctorate in Theology from Maskil Fellowship Bible College. Dr. Brown is also certified for Pastoral Counseling, and is currently completing Coaching I & II - as she continues to fulfill the ministry call.
