Welcome!

Close-up of a smiling man with light skin, short brown hair, a beard, and blue eyes, standing outdoors in front of a brick wall with white flowers.

My name is Rich Brown, and I serve as a pastor and church planter in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Since 2009, I’ve had the joy of serving Christ’s people in various pastoral and professional ministries in Virginia. I pray that the sermons, blogs, and published works you find here are a blessing to you.

Additionally, I offer the following professional services:

  • Guest Preaching

  • Website Design

  • Public Speaking
