Pastor Danny & Kadie Brown
Serving City Park Chapel since 2012Â
Pastor Danny Brown answered the call to ministry in 2005 after sharing his testimony and singing at Green Hills Church of God of Prophecy — a moment many confirmed as a turning point in his life. Since then, he has served in a wide range of ministry roles, including interim youth pastor, teacher of college and career classes, praise team member, children’s church leader, and revival support for district overseers. In 2012, he became the pastor of City Park Chapel and has led the congregation with steadfast love, faith, and vision ever since.
Before entering full-time ministry, Danny built a 16-year career in banking, where he was honored multiple times for leadership and excellence. But his roots run even deeper in farming — a passion planted when he was just 4 years old and bought his first calf for $5 in pennies. Since then, he has raised cattle, opened a hatchery, grown and sold produce, and worked with nearly every farm animal you can imagine. That same dedication and faithfulness shapes the way he pastors and serves others
Kadie Brown felt God’s call at age 12 and somehow always knew she would marry a preacher. Over the years, she has served in many ministry roles including Sunday School teacher, worship leader, drama team director, and evangelist. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Middle Grades Education with a minor in History from Lee University, graduating Cum Laude and receiving awards including Who’s Who, the Peer Mentor Award, and the LEAP Achieve Award.
Kadie taught in the public school system before stepping away to raise their children and fully support the ministry. Today, she serves as pastor’s wife, worship leader, children’s ministry director, and anything else the Lord calls her to be. Her heart is especially drawn to those who feel broken or forgotten — and she boldly shares her testimony to remind others that Jesus can restore what the enemy tried to destroy.
Danny and Kadie were married in 2018 and are the proud parents of two children, Elijah (5) and Esther (4). Together, they are building a church family where everyone is welcomed, loved, and pointed to Jesus.

Daniel James Brown began serving as the Church Treasurer of City Park Chapel in 2024. He holds a Master of Divinity and has faithfully served the body of Christ for decades — pastoring for a season and teaching Sunday School for over 30 years. Daniel brings wisdom, spiritual maturity, and a commitment to stewardship in his role as treasurer.
His wife, Gerri Brown, serves as the part-time church secretary. She holds a degree in Criminal Justice and has served in various roles within that field throughout her career. Gerri now uses her skills and experience to support the ministry side of church operations with grace and attention to detail.
Daniel and Gerri have been married for 45 years and have two adult children. Together, they continue to serve the Lord with faithfulness and humility, offering encouragement and strength to the City Park Chapel family.
