Augusta United Methodist Church

Pastor Stephanie wall brown

Hello!  I'm glad to "meet" you here on our church website, and hope to meet you in person sometime soon.  I began serving as pastor of Augusta 1st UMC on July 1, 2025.  This is my seventh appointment in 29 years of ministry which has taken me from the former Kansas West and Kansas East Conferences, to the current Great Plains Conference.  

I grew up in Lyons, Kansas and then moved to Winfield, Kansas to attend Southwestern College.  My husband, Paul Brown III, and I met while at SC, both singing in A Cappella Choir and participating in various campus activities.  We married following graduation and dove into jobs, seminary, and parish ministry.  Our daughter Brookelyn, her husband Daniel, and their two daughters live in Wichita, as do our son Paul (PJ) and his girlfriend.  We are incredibly grateful to be in Augusta and sharing in God's life-transforming ministries here at Augusta 1st UMC!  

May God gift, guide, and guard you,

Pastor Stephanie Wall Brown
