Reverend Kemel V. Brown was born on March 29, 1982, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He began his elementary education in Camden, New Jersey. After moving to Atlanta, Georgia with his family, he completed his secondary education in the Atlanta Public School System and followed to complete undergraduate college courses. Currently, Reverend Kemel Brown works as a corporate benefits administrator and is completing his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at St. Leo University.

Reverend Kemel Brown was anointed from his mother's womb to bear the gospel of the Lord Jesus and at an early age began to exhibit signs that the anointing of the Lord was upon his life. Reverend Brown preached his first mini-sermon in kindergarten. In the midst of his teacher giving a lesson, he stood up and began to proclaim to his teacher and his classmates that they needed to know Jesus. While this proclamation was not necessarily appreciated by his teacher, it set precedence that he was not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

After beginning his ministerial training under the tutelage of his parents, Elder Akinyele J. Ade' and Apostle Kinaya J. Ade', Reverend Brown was licensed into the ministry in 1998 at the age of sixteen under the auspices of The Sanctuary Church of the Living Word in Atlanta, Georgia. Reverend Brown was ordained in 2001 at the age of nineteen under the auspices of The Sanctuary Church of the Living Word and the International Fellowship of Churches, of which Bishop Audrey F. Bronson is the presiding prelate. After operating as Associate Pastor for many years after his ordination, Reverend Kemel Brown was installed as Senior Pastor of The Sanctuary Village Ministries in the spring of 2011. Recently becoming the Founder of The Sanctuary Village of Power, Inc., Reverend Kemel Brown currently presides and is soon to be officially installed as the Senior Pastor of The Sanctuary Village of Power.

Reverend Brown operates in the five-fold ministry as an Evangelist, Teacher, and Pastor. Aside from preaching and teaching the Word of God, his anointing lies in praise and worship: writing, directing, and arranging music. Reverend Brown has traveled throughout the nation preaching and singing the Gospel. His uniquely anointed worship through song carries yoke destroying power that brings liberty into the atmosphere. In August of 2006, Reverend Brown accepted the charge to take the gospel to the streets and birthed the neo-gospel, rock band, Tribe of Levi. Tribe of Levi Ministries, LLC's motto and mission is to "Win the Lost at Any Cost!" Pastor Brown continues in his role as Director of Music of The Sanctuary Village of Power, and is also the National Youth Director of the International Fellowship of Churches.

Reverend Kemel stands fervently on Psalm 34:1-2, "I will bless the Lord at all times. His praises shall continually be in my mouth."
