Gina's Bio


Gina Brown

Second Year Seminary 

Student Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA


Having spent most of her youth and early adult life unrepentant, God began calling Gina’s name in her early twenties.  To her this call promised a better life.  In the midst of already experiencing a great life she was curious about this promise from God and after much consideration she gave her life to Christ.  After almost 28 years of discovery in God, the journey has been amazing and only continues to heighten her curiosity about God, His Kingdom and how He relates to his people.

This journey of discovery has provided opportunity to see God moving in various settings such as varying denominations, faith traditions, races, ethnicities and economic backgrounds.  Through these experiences she has been able to develop an ecumenical skill set that has become a central component to her ministry which extends her the grace and flexibility to be able to understand, communicate and find common ground with persons of different faith formations.

Gina is a wife of 20 years to Isaac her bestie and mother to Zahria-Jade who is her heart beat.

Today Gina is an inquirer for ordain ministry in the Presbyterian (PC)USA faith.  She attends Decatur Presbyterian Church in downtown Decatur in Georgia.  Additionally, she is a student at Columbia Theological Seminary in pursuit of a Master of Divinity and a Masters of Practical Theology with an emphasis on Pastoral Care. 

Her goal is to produce ministry that is socially and culturally relevant to the congregants to which she hopes to serve.
