Mountain Outreach Director
Rocky Brown recently stepped into the role of Director of Mountain Outreach, bringing with him more than 20 years’ worth of construction experience.
Brown remarked, “It was kind of funny when I got the job because they said, ‘We want you to do service projects, help the community, and share the gospel.’ I smiled and said, ‘And you’re going to pay me to do this?’ Because those are all things I absolutely love to do. There’s nothing better.”
His résumé includes heavy experience in HVAC, electrical, trim and finish carpentry, roofing, and doors and windows, along with some experience with sheetrock, painting, framing, and concrete work. He led projects as an electrician in the Department of Operations at Cumberlands for three years. He has worked for a handful of other companies who specialize in hardware and construction, and he has completed many freelance projects independently for friends and family.
Besides directing Mountain Outreach, Brown is the father of three girls and one boy whom Brown calls “the four best kids on the planet” and “whom I love with all my heart.” They bring a lot of joy to his life.
Brown credits the Lord with giving him the skills and abilities he possesses, and he does his best to use those “to work in the Kingdom” helping fellow believers and “reaching out to the lost” as opportunities present themselves.
“I dedicate my life to teaching people to believe and understand God’s Word for themselves. It is a great honor to teach God’s Word,” he said. “The Lord Jesus Christ died for me. I am beyond thankful that He laid His life down for me as the payment for my sin and for the sin of the world.”
