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 grown steadily
and continues 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.

Joe & Danielle Woods
Joe & Danielle Woods are the Youth Leaders at Christian Life Center. Having been born and
raised in Delaware, they answered a call of God on their lives to move to Montana, at the time
because of an employment opportunity. Since then they have accepted the role of teaching
and leading the Jr./Sr. High Youth, known at our church as the Firestarters.
Joe & Danielle are dedicated to God, each other, their three boys, and serving the Lord by
reaching the youth of Havre.
