As we prepare to celebrate Brownson’s 90th anniversary, we pause to remember that our story is not simply about buildings, budgets, or programs—it is a story of God’s grace. For ninety years, God has called ordinary people in this community to step out in faith, to give sacrificially, and to build a spiritual home that has blessed generations.

Much of what we will cover in this season will highlight the early history of our church—the generosity and leadership of Dr. Marcus Brownson, the patience and perseverance it took to build a sanctuary during the years of World War II, and the creation of a camp for soldiers that offered care and connection in a time of great need. These stories remind us that the foundation of our congregation has always been faith lived out in action.

Some of the quotes you will encounter in this series come from The History of Brownson Memorial Presbyterian Church, written by Mrs. Haynes Britt. We are also deeply grateful for the additional pictures provided by our church historian, Elaine Sills, which help bring these stories to life.
This October, we will journey together in a five-week series called “90 Years of Grace: Our Story, God’s Faithfulness.” Each week we will reflect on a central theme—Purpose, Perseverance, Provision, Presence, and Promise—drawing wisdom from Scripture and remembering moments from Brownson’s history that reveal God’s hand at work.

My prayer is that this series will not only remind us of how God has been faithful in the past but also inspire us to live with courage, generosity, and hope for the future. May we, like those who came before us, trust that God is still leading us forward.
