Good Shepherd Episcopal Welcomes New Rector Rev. Mark Brown

Good Shepherd Episcopal Church-Kingwood

Kingwood, TX – January 29, 2026 – Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 2929 Woodland Hills Drive, joyfully announces the calling of the Rev. Mark Brown as its new rector. Brown will begin his ministry on March 23, following an enthusiastic call from the vestry. Brown brings more than two decades of leadership experience across nonprofit, ministry, and community service sectors – both in the United States and internationally. Since 2017, he has served as chief executive officer of West Houston Assistance Ministries (WHAM), where he led the organization through a period of remarkable growth. Under his leadership, WHAM now helps approximately 12,000 people each month with critical services that help prevent homelessness and support families in crisis. “We are thrilled to welcome Rev. Mark Brown to Good Shepherd,” said Bob Kessler, senior warden of the vestry. “His pastoral heart, leadership experience, and passion for serving the community align beautifully with our mission. We look forward to the new season of ministry that will unfold under his guidance.” Brown expressed his excitement about joining the Good Shepherd community. “Good Shepherd is a parish with a strong spirit of welcome, compassion, and faith,” he said. “I am honored to walk alongside this congregation as we deepen our discipleship, strengthen our ministries, and continue serving the people of Kingwood, Humble, Atascocita, Porter, New Caney, and beyond.” All are welcome to attend a Celebration of New Ministry and installation service, which will be scheduled in coordination with the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. Details will be shared as they become available.
