ABOUT PASTOR SELENA DIONNE BROWN

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Pastor Selena Dionne Brown is the Campus Pastor and Director of Youth and Community Involvement for the Greater Shiloh Church-Stroudsburg Campus under the leadership of Sr. Pastor Phillip and Co-Pastor Kristina Davis. Born in Durham, N.C. and raised in Jamaica, N.Y., she has served diligently in various areas of ministry for over 30 years.

After returning to Durham in 1997, Pastor Brown served at the New Life Christian Center under the leadership of Pastors Andrew and Cheryl Singletary until she moved to Pennsylvania in September 2004.

An entrepreneur and licensed cosmetologist by trade, Pastor Brown was in search of a permanent church where her family could worship when she was invited by one of her clients to attend a Women of Excellence Conference at the Greater Shiloh Church in 2005. It was at that conference that Pastor Brown heard the voice of God as He confirmed that she had been led to what would be her permanent church home.

In 2011, after years of serving in Youth and Women’s Ministry, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and Sr. Pastor Davis, she accepted the call to preach the Gospel and began her ministerial and education requirements. On December 20, 2015, she was licensed as a Minister of the Greater Shiloh Church.

In 2018, Pastor Brown retired from the field of cosmetology to accept a fulltime position in ministry and was appointed Director of Youth and Community Involvement. Throughout her tenure at Greater Shiloh Church, Pastor Brown serves in the ministry as a Sunday School teacher, Women’s Ministry liaison, Bible Class teacher, Youth Ministry leader and Community Involvement liaison.

In September 2019, Pastor Brown was ordained to the office of Campus Pastor of the Greater Shiloh Church. Pastor Selena Brown has been anointed and appointed to preach God’s Word in and out of season, without looking for fame or fortune.

Pastor Selena Brown is the mother of three adult sons, Dernard, Joshua and Daniel.
