​

Born to Tyrone Mills and Lisa Brown in Baltimore, MD, Brent Andre Brown was saved at the age of 9, at the Sweet Hope Free Will Baptist Church under the leadership of Bishop Chilean McCoy Smith Sr. At the age of 18, Rev. 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 Free Will 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 23, 2013, Rev. Brown preached his initial sermon, "When Faith Fights Reality." 

​

Serving and walking closely with his predecessor, the late Rev. Errol D. Gilliard, Sr., equipped Rev. Brown for ministry at Greater Harvest and beyond. Rev. Brown was appointed as the Executive Pastor of Greater Harvest Baptist Church in early 2016, faithfully serving in that capacity until he was officially elected to serve as the fifth Senior Pastor of the Greater Harvest Baptist Church in November of 2016. 

​

Under Rev. Brown’s leadership, Greater Harvest continues to experience God ordained growth both spiritually and numerically. Rev. Brown takes no personal credit for the many accomplishments he and The Greater Harvest Family have achieved together but gives God all the glory.

Brown has invested time matriculating at Hampton University, is a 2024 honors graduate of the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University, where he was also recognized with the 2024 Alix B.
