Heber Marvin Brown, II is the son of the late Bishop Heber Marvin Brown, Sr. and Beatrice Mae Anthony Brown. By virtue of the fact that he was nurtured in a strong and loving Christian family, he was led to learn at an early age in whom to place his trust. His early development started at Brown’s Chapel under the leadership of his father. Heber Marvin Brown, II served in many capacities of ministry while at Brown’s Chapel and when he went away to college continued to travel the distance to show his commitment to his home church.

"The spirit of the Lord is upon me..." is reflected in the witness of Heber Marvin Brown, II. In 1986, he answered the call to pastor the Shiloh Baptist Church in Edgemere, Maryland. In addition to pastoring Shiloh, since May of 2000, Bishop Brown also took on the charge of pastoring the Brown's Chapel Freewill Baptist Church of Newark, New Jersey following the passing of the founder, Bishop Heber Brown, Sr. Once again, he finds himself traveling the distance but now to shepherd God’s people.

Through Bishop’s leadership, Brown’s Chapel weathered the time of transition. Members are edified through prayer, a revitalized bible class, Sunday school instruction and a monthly spiritual vitamin call. New believers have been discipled into the fellowship and family of God, church projects have been planned and completed for the beautification of the edifice, and LOVE is evident throughout all that we do so that God is glorified.

"Who will go for us? Here am I, send me..." is the living testimony of Heber Marvin Brown, II. During his ministerial career, he has served as Minister of Christian Education at the New Psalmist Baptist Church under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Thomas, Bible instructor for various Bible Fellowships, facilitator of workshops, revivalist, and conference preacher. The Gospel is being proclaimed as he preaches and teaches throughout the United States.

In July 2001, Bishop Brown, II was elected and consecrated the 1st Bishop of the Praise Covenant Interdenominational Fellowship at the Shiloh Baptist Church of Baltimore County Maryland. As presiding prelate of the Praise Covenant Interdenominational Fellowship, Bishop
Brown is committed to the synergistic fellowship of those churches and ministries which comprise PCIF while recognizing the need for networking, accountability, fellowship, and resource sharing. He serves as presiding prelate/Dean of the PCIF Ministers Institute. In March 2005 he was given the Rite of Apostolic succession by the Joint College of African - American Pentecostal Bishops and awarded an Honorary Doctor of Divinity by the Christ United Theological School of Cleveland, Ohio.

Bishop Brown is married Jacqueline Anita Brown and is the father of five. His goal in ministry is to remain clay in the hands of the Potter that he may continue to be molded and used to the Glory of God.
