Youth in Action honors a true gospel pioneer and our minister emeritus, Wesley R. Brown, Sr. (1935-2017)

About the Scholarship

Youth in Action is proud to continue the annual Wesley R. Brown Memorial Scholarship for our high school graduates.


The scholarship is funded and approved by the Renaissance Church of Christ Elders for Youth in Action.  The Scholarship is a merit-based, and spiritually-based entity.


The family of Wesley Brown is also honored to be in support of this scholarship that brings remembrance to this great man of God.


Bro. Wesley Brown, a pioneer in proclaiming the salvation found through the Gospel of Christ, served as the minister and elder of the West End church of Christ congregation for over 30 years. He served as Minister Emeritus after retiring from the pulpit at the West End Church of Christ until his passing in 2017.
