Kevin Brown grew up in urban ministry.  His father, the Rev. Bill Brown moved his family into the inner city of New Orleans in the early 1960′s, during a turbulent time in the deep south’s civil unrest.  In 1967, when Kevin was just six, Trinity Christian Community was founded.

In 1979, he left New Orleans to attend Wheaton College.  Graduating in 1983, with a B.A. in psychology, he entered the field of mental health, working in a variety of hospital settings.  In 1986, he completed his Master’s of Social Work at the Jane Addams College of Social Work in Chicago.

From 1986 to 1988, he worked with Midwest Family Resource Associates doing family counseling with clients referred from the Department of Children and Family Services for abuse.  In 1988, he took a position with the Minirth-Meier Clinic.  Ultimately he became Director of Child and Adolescent Services and worked in a variety of capacities in hospitals, partial hospitalization programs and in outpatient family, individual and group counseling.

During this time he was heard on the nationwide broadcast of the Minirth-Meier Clinic hour and hosted his own talk show “Talk It Out” in Chicago.  He has written four books.  He has spoken internationally on a variety of topics related to marriage, families and adolescents.

In 1998, he returned to New Orleans to become only the second Executive Director in Trinity Christian Community’s 38 year history, replacing his father.  Because of TCC’s important community work Kevin has been awarded The President’s Call to Service Award, named Citizen of the Year by the United States Marshals Service and Meritorious Public Servant of the Year by the United States Justice Department.
