Our History
- Our services consist of worship through Gospel music and "Sound Teaching" of the Word of God which applies to your daily life.
The Anvil symbolizes the enduring spirit of the founding fathers of African Methodism. A converted blacksmith's shop once served as a house of worship and was called BETHEL, meaning "House of God." The blacksmith shop contained an anvil used to pound and shape metal ores. The anvil is known by blacksmiths as an indestructible, unwearable object. A blacksmith may die from exhaustion, but the anvil never fails and lasts throughout lifetimes. So it is with God; He cannot be worn down and He is eternal. The anvil represents the AME beginning and the lasting strength of our Lord
- The stained glass window represents the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church(AME), Richard Allen
he lead the first independent black denomination in the United States in 1816.
Our Gift To You
- My GOD, make me brave enough to face my faults, honest enougn to acknowledge them,
and strong enough to fight them LORD, on You I depend for the light and strenght for this daily battle. AMEN
Pastors Message for the week
My beloved Brown Chapel Family. ..................
- I greet you in the blessed name of Jesus.
I pray that all is well with you and your family.
I want to take a moment to look at what it means to be a peacemaker and how it affects our lives.
Biblically, peace carries the idea of total well-being body, heart and mind. A peacemaker is a conflict solver, a positive force for good. Peacemakers are those whose lives demonstrate peace.
They are at peace with themselves,with God and others. Peacemaking is the ultimate work of
God in the world.
- When the God of peace is with us, conflict is eliminated and all the positive blessing for life is ours. It is the God of peace who defeats Satan, the enemy. The God of peace is with those who
do His will. " Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Always
remember, God is our source of peace.
Your Severant In Christ

 Roses: "God intervenes to allow the smell of perfume whenever He wants." author unknown
Mustard: "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with? It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden: it grew and
became a tree, and the birds of the air sheltered in its branches". Luke 13:18-19
Lavender: "Mary brought in a pound of very costly oinment, pure nard, and with it anoited the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was filled with the scent of the oinment." John 12:3
Lemon Grass: "As for maan, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth." Psalms 103:15
Lily: "Think how the lilies grow; they never have to spin or weave; yet I assure you, not even Solomon in all his royal robes was clothed like one of them." Luke 12:27
Tomato: "Plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them." Jeremiah 29:5 "A tree is know by its fruit; a man by his deeds"
Aloe: "I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon." Proverbs 7:17
