Rev. Stradford was ordained an Itinerant Deacon in April of 2007 and an Itinerant Elder in the A.M.E church on April 17, 2009. Rev.

She also completed her Master of Adult Education degree in May 2009 from Coppin State University.

Rev. Stradford serves on the Ministerial Staff as the Minister to Women as well as the Minister to Young Adults.  She serves as the Artistic Director of the Karah Dance Ministry. She also conducts Discipleship/New Member’s classes. Rev. Stradford serves on the Potomac District Church School Council. Previously, she served as the Minister to Youth, Y.P.D director, Class Leader, and a Sunday School Teacher.

Rev. Stradford feels like the Apostle Paul, when he wrote Ephesians 3: 7, “I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of His power. Although I am less than the least of God’s people, this grace was given to me to preach…”

As the leader of the Intercessory Prayer Ministry, she has upheld the ministry’s mission to encourage and inspire the members, families, and church ministries to pursue a deeper prayer life, for the overall edification of the body, and glorification of the Lord. Her main focus is to stand in the gap for those who are not able or willing to pray.

Reverend Brown’s favorite scripture is Psalm 34:1 “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”  Whenever she is asked to describe her passion for ministry she states that it is her desire to do nothing less than to spread the word of God for the advancement of God’s Kingdom.  To do this she believes that she has to incorporate the divine attributes of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in her Christian walk.  Thus she has devoted her life to loving the Lord deeply, and learning how to express this love in her day to day living.  Moreover, she believes that when as a committed Christian, we walk, talk, and breathe our deepest belief in God; we are a kinder and more compassionate disciple for the Lord.

Reverend Brown is married to Brother Kenneth Brown Sr.; she has two adult children, a wonderful daughter in-law, and two beautiful granddaughters.  She is currently a dedicated employee of the Federal Government, where she has served for 33 years.
