Pastor’s Biography

Pastor Kantonio Brownlee was raised attending First Deliverance Holiness Church in Tifton, GA, and Restoration Revival Center in Fitzgerald, GA, both of which were pastored by his grandparents. He confessed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior early in his childhood and publicly rededicated his life to Christ in February 2014.

In May 2014, Pastor Brownlee and his family joined Rivers of Living Water Church, where he was baptized in the Holy Spirit during this time. Due to his commitment to Christ, growth in Christian character, and biblical knowledge, he was invited by church leadership to participate in and oversee several ministries. He served in the usher ministry, sound booth ministry, audio/visual department, church choir, and taught both youth and adult Sunday School classes. He also served as youth pastor, alongside his wife, for over three years. Pastor Hilton R. Wells licensed him as a deacon in January 2017 and as a minister in January 2019. In January 2022, Apostle Carl Clark Jr. installed him as the pastor of Rivers of Living Water Church in DeRidder.

Pastor Brownlee is married to Yolanda Brownlee, and they have three children: Kantonio, Emmanuel, and Skye. After 22 years of honorable service in the United States Army, he retired to devote himself full-time to ministry.
