Dr. Anna Brown
Adjunct Professor
Dr. Anna Brown is a ruling elder and certified Christian educator in the Presbyterian Church (USA) who has served in educational ministry with four local churches over the course of 32 years. Most recently she served at Pleasant Hill Presbyterian in Duluth, Georgia, for 19 years. In 2010, she had the privilege of being invited to teach Christian education courses at McAfee School of Theology.
Over the years, Dr. Brown has served in numerous ways across the denomination, including on General Assembly committees, as well as teaching in various workshops both in the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta and other presbyteries across the denomination. She also has taught in Columbia Theological Seminary’s Lifelong Learning program and for Richmond’s Baptist Theological Seminary.
Beginning in 2015, Dr. Brown, along with her husband and black lab, responded affirmatively to a call into the ministry of hospitality; they moved to Bar Harbor, Maine, where they own and operate the Coach Stop Inn Bed and Breakfast. In Bar Harbor, they call Bar Harbor United Church of Christ their church home, as the closest Presbyterian Church (USA) church is two hours south. When the move north occurred, Dr. Brown moved her courses online.
