LEAD PASTORS
JOEL AND SARAH BROWN
Joel was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana as well as on the mission fields of Peru and Haiti. His family relocated to Northwest Arkansas in the 90's where Joel met his wife Sarah. They married in January 1996 and have three children: Hannah, Bethany and Josiah.
Joel has been in ministry his entire life and has led worship and pastored since 1995; he was ordained in 1999.
In 2005, Joel and Sarah joined Keypoint Church under Pastors Casey and Stacey Henagan. During their time at Keypoint, Joel served as the Worship Pastor and Sarah served as the Children's Pastor. They were able to experience Keypoint's growth into one of Northwest Arkansas ' most influential churches before moving to Virginia.
At the beginning of 2011 during a church wide fast, God began to speak
to the Brown family that a "transition was coming".
In September 2011, the vision for Church at Hampton Roads was birthed and the Brown family arrived in Chesapeake, VA in April of 2012. Joel is driven by one word: "others".
