About Us
Connecting Faith, Building Community
We believe the Scriptures teach that the end of the world is approaching; that at the last day, Christ will descend from heaven, and raise the dead from the grave for final retribution; that a solemn separation will then take place; that the wicked will be adjudged to endless punishment, and the righteous to endless joy; and that this judgment will fix forever the final state of men in heaven or hell, on principles of righteousness.

What We Believe
THE SCRIPTURES.
We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; that it has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture of error for its matter; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us, and therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried.
THE TRUE GOD
We believe the Scriptures teach that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor confidence and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; equal in every divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
THE FALL OF MAN
We believe the Scriptures teach that Man was created in holiness, under the law of his Maker; but by voluntary transgressions fell from that holy and happy state; in consequence of which all mankind are now sinners, not by constraint but choice; being by nature utterly void of that holiness required by the law of God, positively inclined to evil; and therefore under just condemnation to eternal ruin, without defense or excuse.
THE WAY OF SALVATION.
We believe that the Scriptures teach that the salvation of sinners is wholly of grace; through the mediatorial offices of the Son of God; who by the appointment of the Father, freely took upon him our nature, yet without sin; honored the divine law by his personal obedience, and by his death made a full atonement for our sins; that having risen from the dead, he is now enthroned in heaven; and uniting in his wonderful person the tenderest sympathies with divine perfections, he is in every way qualified to be a suitable, a compassionate, and an all-sufficient Savior.
JUSTIFICATION
We believe the Scriptures teach that the great Gospel blessing which Christ secures to such as believe in him is justification; that justification includes the pardon of sin, and the promise of eternal life on principles of righteousness; that it is bestowed, not in consideration of any works of righteousness which we have done, but solely through faith in the Redeemer’s blood; by virtue of which faith his perfect righteousness is freely imputed to us of God; that it brings us into a state of most blessed peace and favor with God, and secures every other blessing needful for time and eternity.
THE FREENESS OF SALVATION
We believe that the Scriptures teach that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by cordial, penitent and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own determined depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation.
Meet Our Pastor
Reverend Doctor Darrell C. Brown, Jr. is born and raised in Pottstown, PA. He is one of four children of Darrel C. Brown, Sr. and the late Linda (Charles) Brown. He is a 4th generational preacher of the Gospel of Grace.
Dr. Brown was educated in the Pottstown School District. Upon his graduation, he enlisted in the US Army. He also attended Slidell Baptist Theological Seminary and where he has earned his Doctorate degree in Theology.
Dr. Brown is a man of faith who has experienced a transformative journey in his relationship with God. Rev. He like the prodigal son once found himself lost and without hope, living in a world of sin after walking away from the safety and covering of the Father’s house. However, because of the prayers of his grandparents and the grace of God, his life took a new direction.
At his lowest point, God reached out His hand and lifted him, turning his life around and placing his feet on solid ground. Filled with gratitude, he made the decision to wholeheartedly serve God. The chains of guilt and shame were broken, and he experienced the freedom that comes only from God’s grace.
Dr. Brown’s testimony exemplifies Psalms 124:1-2 “If it had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be.”One of his favorite songs is ‘Amazing Grace’ how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost and now I’m found, how do you like me now!
In 2006, Dr. Brown married the love of his life, Marian L. Brown, God’s favor was evident in their lives as they prospered and became a blessing to their family, community, and the people of God.
In 2014, Dr. Brown was called to pastor New Hope Baptist Church of Paoli, where he and Lady Brown were installed with the support of their beloved Pottstown community.
After serving at NHBC for 7 1⁄2 years, Rev. and Lady Brown felt a new direction from God. In January 2022… they founded Rhema Ministries Int. “The Word Church” in their home. As the church grew, God provided them with a beautiful sanctuary in Pottstown, Pa.
Pastor and Lady Brown are proud parents of seven children eighteen grandchildren and one great grandchild. Together, they are committed to serving the Lord Jesus Christ and creating a spirit-filled worship experience for their congregation.
Dr. Brown testimony epitomizes the words of scripture found in:
Ephesians 3:20 God can do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think or even imagine.
