The Mount has locations in Chesapeake, Virginia, Newport News, Virginia and Elizabeth City & Charlotte, North Carolina. As Pastor, he brings creative and innovative vision and takes an “out of the box” approach to ministry. His leadership style attracts all cultures and age groups, as a result, The Mount congregation has grown from 75 to over 13,000 since 1990 when he began his tenure. The Mount Global Fellowship continues to expand with multiple church plants and ministry sites while under his leadership.
Bishop Brown earned his Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Norfolk State University. In 1991 he achieved a Master of Divinity degree in academic preparation to preach the Gospel. Bishop Brown completed the Doctoral Program of Ministry in 1998 from Samuel D. Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University.
Bishop Brown maintains close relationships with highly respected ministry and political leaders locally and nationally. Most noteworthy, his servant attitude, respect in the community and willingness to be used outside the four walls of the church make him a well sought-after leader. In 2004, the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center’s Board of Authority appointed him as a member. Furthermore, in 2008, the Board named Dr. K.W. Brown Chairman.
Bishop Brown and Elder Valerie Kay Brown share 28 years of marriage and counting. God blessed them with two children, James and Kimberly.
He is the author of the best selling book, Marriage Talk.
Marriage Talk is an awe inspiring, thought provoking view of marriage and all of the complexities that come within the marital relationship. Therefore, this book is recommended for couples considering marriage or those looking to work through some of the hills and valleys of marriage. Based on practical rather than theoretical considerations from their own relationship, Marriage Talk is sensibly and realistically dealt with.
Bishop believes that God called for him and his wife to work together in ministry. Because of their commitment to fruitful, life-changing and evolving ministry, it has enabled them to birth their own ministry, K.W. Brown International Ministries, Inc.
Bishop Brown is determined to fulfill the call God placed on his life through obedience to HIS commands. For Deuteronomy 11:26 says, “Today, I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! For you will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today.”
