Bonner, Greater Mount Olive COGIC, Maurice began singing in the Sunshine Band at preschool age. He later joined the adult choir at age 13 and was astute enough to perform as lead soloist. He accepted his call to the ministry at the early age of twelve. Throughout his teenage years he was known as one of The Brown Brothers, – a duo with his younger brother Eugene. He also sang in numerous churches in the Chicago area and remembers a special opportunity to perform for the mayor.
Young Maurice joined the military and was stationed in northern California for several years. During that time he sang all over the Bay area and performed with such artists as Yolanda Adams, John P. Kee, Orlando Draper, and others. He became a member of Greater Victory Temple Church of God in Christ in Seaside, California, where Bishop W.W. Hamilton is the Senior Pastor. It was at this same time that he was ordained as an Elder in June of 1994.There, Elder Maurice met and married his wife Aronda Jones Brown. They have two children, Sheniah Mauret’ and Maurice II.
At Greater Victory Temple, the Lord used and elevated the ministry given to Elder Maurice. He worked as an Adjutant, Youth Pastor, Praise Leader, Trainer, Director and Assistant Minister of Music. In the summer of 2005 the Browns relocated to North Texas where Elder Maurice served as the Praise and Worship leader and Minister of Music at Shiloh Institutional COGIC, Dr. Sherman CG Allen, Senior Pastor until 2011. In 2011 Elder Brown was hired and currently serves as the Director of Fine Arts and Music at The Potters House of Fort Worth, Patrick Winfield, Campus Pastor; Bishop T.D. Jakes, Senior Pastor. God has opened many doors on his behalf allowing him to minister in song at churches worldwide. Elder Maurice has made appearances on TBN “Praise The Lord”, The Word Network and the vocal on Bishop T.D. Jake’s “Let it go” project. He is also featured on the WTAL (Woman Thou Art Loosed) 2011 project. Through it all, the one scripture that has really become an icon to Elder Brown is Romans 8:28, “and we know that ALL things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose…”
