Stephen Brown

I was born and raised in OKC and love this city. When I was confronted with the opportunity to plant a church, God made it abundantly clear that this church was the appointed time and place.
I’ve been married to my wife Sabrina for 7 years, We have three beautiful girls. I was called to pastoral ministry in high-school and spent 5 years at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Spurgeon College, graduating with a degree in Biblical Studies and a Masters of Divinity.

I was born and raised here in the OKC area. I’ve served in various ministry roles for more than a decade, and when the opportunity came about to be a part of this work, I was excited to join in with our planting team. My primary focus is family ministry, though I also have the privilege of preaching on occasion and helping lead our efforts to serve and engage our local community.
I’ve been married to my wife, Katelyn, for 15 years, and together we’re raising five daughters, with our sixth daughter on the way.

Oklahoma City has been home my whole life, and I have spent much of the past decade leading worship in different capacities in the church. When there was a need for someone to lead the worship ministry at Northeast Fellowship, I knew it was an opportunity that aligned with my passions and calling, and the Lord has confirmed that in our time here.
I married my wife Leavi in 2023 and we live in Edmond, where she is a teacher. I graduated with a degree in accounting from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2022 and currently work full-time for a private equity real estate firm.
