Pastor Vern Brown
Vernon R. Brown, Sr. grew up in Choteau, Montana. He entered the United States Air Force upon graduation from High School. He spent five
years at the U. S. Air Force Academy, where he met and married his lovely bride, Mary Beth. They have four children and reside together in
Havre, Montana.
Vern received his call to the ministry after graduation, but before leaving for basic training. Throughout his years in the Air Force the constant
cry of his heart was to attend Bible college and return to Montana to minister.
God answered that prayer in allowing Vern to attend Portland Bible College in Oregon. In 1997, Vern graduated from college and began
planning to plant a church in Havre, Montana.
The church was started in November 1998. Since then Christian Life Center has continued in the vision of loving service that it was founded on.
Vern currently is a tent-making pastor, working a secular job outside of the church. Pastoring is not simply a vocation; it is a calling. The cry of
"everything for Jesus' needs to not only be heard from the pulpit, but also be modeled in the lives of every Christian.
