Our Lead Pastor

Pastor Virgil Brown is the Lead Pastor of Christian Life Center (CLC).  He and his wife Angela have a daughter & a son, & both have been in ministry most of their lives.

Pastor Virgil & Angela have lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost 30 years & moved to Port Orchard to serve as lead pastors of CLC in 2016.  Every Friday they “unplug” and honor the sabbath; When weather permits, they will hike or do something outdoor to enjoy the beauty of the Kitsap Peninsula. 

Pastor Virgil is known for his leadership abilities, his passion for reaching the lost & his desire to see people grow in their faith. Under his leadership, CLC has more than doubled in size & is continuing to grow. 

We are a growing church, known for straightforward Biblical teaching, personal growth and a desire to reach people who are checking out Jesus for the first time.
