“He’s been called the Mayor of Beaver County. He’s been called Western Pennsylvania’s greatest ambassador.”

Thus were the words of Joey Brown, speaking about the late Reverend Calvin Brown, who was a longtime pastor at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Beaver Falls and made numerous appearances and speeches throughout the tri-state area and beyond. On September 25, a memorial service and show will be held in his honor at First Presbyterian Church in Beaver Falls beginning at 5 PM.

Joey and his wife Miriam joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the upcoming Rev. Calvin Brown Memorial Service. Joey and Miriam are members of the band Re-Konception!, a praise band that will be playing for the service on September 25 (you can check out their song “Cry Out”, by clicking the video above). They will be joined by Linda Ross Brown and James Montgomery, among others.

Together they will be paying tribute to a man who, as Joey said, “loved music”. Joey exclaimed that the music heard at the service will not be “performances”, but testaments of ministry that are meant to show and spread the Word of God in the way that Calvin Brown did through music and spoken word. Joey also spoke about the ways in which Brown’s positive message reached out and healed those who received it.
