Brown received the call to the preaching ministry. In 2011, he acknowledged and accepted his call and began studying under the tutelage of his former Pastor, the late Bishop Marilyn E. Bostic, Establishmentarian of the Jesus of Nazareth Freewill Baptist Church in Baltimore, MD.  After Bishop Bostic's transition from labor to rest, Rev. Brown furthered his preparation under the tutelage of Pastor Charles A. Hall, Jr. On Saturday, November 23rd, 2013, Rev. Brown preached his initial sermon, "When Faith Fights Reality."
