Jerry Brown
is Christian Education Director at Antioch. Although his formal education was focused on clinical laboratory science, he realizes that his life education was molded by his dedicated Sunday School teachers as he was growing up.
His commitment to Christian education goes back to his Army days at Ft Riley, KS where he took on the challenge of teaching Sunday School to elementary children. Since then he has also been involved with teens, young singles, and adult Christians. He has led the Youth Program at the annual conference of the International Council of Community Churches, and was a Boy Scout leader for many years.
He is very proud of his two sons, both of whom are Eagle Scouts, and grateful to God for the gift of his wife, Laurinda. At Antioch, he is always looking for new opportunities to challenge people of all ages as they learn and grow their faith and understanding of Jesus Christ.
