Mike Brown is a native Southern Californian. He did not grow up in Reformed churches but in the Calvary Chapel movement where he served as a “youth pastor” for a short period of time. He became interested in Reformed theology, however, through the writings of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, J. Gresham Machen, and by “The White Horse Inn” radio program. He has a passion to preach the gospel, teach theology and help people learn the riches of the Reformed faith. Mike and his wife Janie were married in 1990, and have four children: Micaela, Alysia, Isaac and Iain. They live in San Diego.
