Brenden and Jacqui Brown, originally from Sydney, Australia, have been married for 19 years and are proud parents to their two teenage sons, Jayden and Jentzen.
Brenden’s life was radically transformed in his mid-twenties when he encountered Jesus in 2001, leaving behind a fast-paced career in the nightclub and fashion industries. A year later, he led Jacqui to Christ, and together, they have passionately followed the Lord ever since.
With over 23 years of ministry experience, Brenden and Jacqui have served in a wide range of roles—from leading diverse, multigenerational churches and ministries to mentoring leaders, discipling believers, and providing spiritual support to professional athletes and teams. No matter the setting, their passion remains the same: sharing the Word of God, strengthening marriages, and offering faith-filled, generous leadership.
Brenden is a dynamic leader and communicator, while Jacqui’s deep heart for pastoral care and healthy families brings strength to every space they serve. Together, as lead pastors of Heirs Church, they are committed to leading people to Jesus, building His Church, and equipping others to step into their God-given purpose. Their mission is to disciple, empower, and inspire others to do the same—creating a legacy of faith that transforms lives.
