Pastor Ken Brown is building bridges at Trinity Methodist.
Trinity United Methodist ChurchThe room quiets as he ascends to the podium. Surveying the crowd, he narrates some of his father’s experiences working as an engineer in a segregated workplace in North Carolina. “Though my daddy was exposed to this brutal environment each day, he never let us think we were limited by the color of our skin,” Brown says. “He returned each night to tuck us into bed, and we grew up believing we could be anything we dreamt to be.
“I’ve discovered in Broomfield and Denver the Methodist church is more progressive, and my calling to serve white churches has been overwhelmingly embraced,” Brown says. “When I was in Florida, I wasn’t offered an opportunity to be the senior pastor of a white church, and in Colorado, I was.” Brown weaves personal experiences of race and class into his sermons to inspire church members to create change. “As a pastor, I don’t believe I have a pass on not being political — most things in life are,” Brown says. “If the Bible says ‘Thou shall not kill,’ then of course I’m going to preach about it.”
