Rev. Wilfred Brown joins Bacone College Staff Muskogee, OK--
Reverend Wilfred Brown has accepted the position of Dean of Students and College Chaplain effective March 26, 2007. Brown, ordained in 1984, had served on the Bacone College Board of Trustees from 2002 to 2007. “I am very please that Rev. Brown has chosen to join us at Bacone College so we can continue to advance our historic educational mission with native people within the context of Christian Community to our diverse student population”, said Rev. Dr. Robert Duncan Jr., President of Bacone College. In his new role, Rev. Brown will serve on the President's Cabinet.
Brown (Kiowa/ Acoma Tribes) has worked with the American Baptist Churches in National Ministries for 11 years as National Coordinator of Intercultural Ministries- Indian Churches Strategist. Before working in National Ministries, he ministered at various churches including Osage Indian Baptist Church in Pawhuska, OK, Forest Hill Baptish Church in Idabel, OK, American Indian Baptist Church in Houston, TX, and First American Baptist Church in Hobart, OK. "I feel that Bacone is a great opportunity for me to be apart of, plus it is allowing me to slow down my travel schedule to spend more time with my family" said Brown. He is married to Kay Brown and they have 3 daughters- Faith, Hope, and Kristi. Of the approximate 2.5 million Native Americans that live in the United States, almost 96% of them do not attend church. Rev. Brown said, “Working at Bacone allows me to minister to the native students and help them attain a college education so they can follow in the footsteps of other great Bacone Alumni such as Patrick J. Hurley and Alexander Lawrence Posey.
