From the time he was four years old Nick Brown knew he wanted to be a pastor and share his love of God with others.

On October 1, 2017 he and his wife Elizabeth opened Pathways Chapel in Gays on First Street across from the Christian Church.

“My parents were married in the Christ Tabernacle Church in Herrick, and I grew up in the church. No one in my family was in the ministry, but I felt the calling early,” Pastor Brown recalled.

His wife is originally from Gays, and they met in the Herrick church. When they moved to Gays, Nick met with Dr. Andrew Robinson of Eastern Illinois University about opening a church. Dr. Robinson headed the Christ Ministries and the School of Divinity where Brown obtained his BA and Masters in Divinity. He is also an ordained minister.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
