Dr. M. Christopher Brown II is the Pastor of the House of God Church Las Vegas,
Nevada (formerly New Revelation Baptist Church d/b/a God’s Church). He is a former
member of the Victory Baptist Church (also of Las Vegas). He previously served as
Interim Pastor of Second Baptist Church of Clifton (Clifton, VA), as well as Associate
Minister on the pulpit staffs of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church (Champaign, IL), the Mt.
Pleasant Baptist Church (Alexandria, VA), and the Pine Grove Baptist Church (Fayette,
MS). He is one of God’s latter day messengers sent to preach the acceptable year of the
Lord.
Dr. Brown was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He is the only son of Mrs. Jannie L.
Brown (and the late Joseph Brown). He was raised in the House of God Church. He
accepted salvation in August 1985 and was baptized in September of the same year.
During his membership he served as a Sunday School Teacher for the Catechism Class
and participated in several other church auxiliaries.
Dr. Brown’s walk with God was fueled under the loving tutelage of his grandmother, the
Late Deaconess Evelyna S. Brown. It is Dr. Brown’s practice to include his
grandmother’s theological insights and real-life examples into both sermons and
discipleship teaching right alongside Matthew Henry, Warren Wiersbe, and Charles
Spurgeon. Despite having only a formal third-grade education, his grandmother’s
biblical insights are testament and testimony of Proverbs 2:6, “For the Lord giveth
wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
Dr. Brown served faithfully as a Deacon from January of 1987 until he answered his call
to preach on August 14, 1998. He was licensed to the gospel ministry on October 18,
1998 by the Friendship Baptist Church (Kansas City, MO) under the auspices of Dr.
Manuel L. Dillingham; and ordained a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ on April 1,
2001 by the Mt. Olive Baptist Church (Champaign, IL) under the auspices of Rev. Lundy
Savage.

Master of Science in Education from the University of Kentucky, and a Doctor of
Philosophy from The Pennsylvania State University. He has also conducted advanced
study at the College of Charleston, the University of Maryland, Charleston Southern
University, the University of Arizona, the University of Mississippi, and the House of
God Academy and Bible College (Nashville, TN).
Dr. Brown preached his initial sermon at the then New Revelation Baptist Church on
March 3, 2014 – “When the Lord Shuts You In”. He was unanimously elected to the
position of Senior Pastor on August 16, 2015 and formally installed on November 24, 2015.
Under the dedicated leadership of Pastor Brown, the New Revelation Baptist Church
(now the House of God Las Vegas) has been growing spiritually and numerically. The
church has a new constitution and bylaws, has remodeled the sanctuary and facilities,
upgraded technology, and captured the heart and commitment of the membership. In
addition to covenant ministries and auxiliaries, church programming includes tutoring,
food assistance, benevolence, and missions support. The House of God Las Vegas is an
organized organism that edifies the savior, evangelizes the sinner, and equips the saints.
