A Message from Reverend Brown

What a privilege it is to serve as pastor of Fort Hill, a congregation that has been a faithful beacon of hope in Jesus Christ since 1899. Throughout its history, people in this community of faith have rejoiced with those who rejoice and wept with those who weep. At the altar of Fort Hill, the sacredness of life has been affirmed as lives have been joined, renewed in the water of baptism, confirmed in the faith of Jesus Christ, sustained in Holy Communion, and remembered in the great cloud of witnesses.

As pastor of this congregation, I promise to travel the journey of faith with you as a follower of Jesus. While I do not profess to know the answers to all the questions that life presents, I do profess faith in the risen Jesus Christ who has promised to be with us always.
