Special Church Service

Pastor Howard-John Wesley '94, Senior Pastor, Alfred Street Baptist Church, Alexendria, VA

Please come out to hear one of the most dynamic preachers, teachers and scholars in America.

Under Dr. Wesley’s leadership, the Alfred Street Baptist Church has grown from 2,800 members to 10,000 members, 60,000 plus monthly online viewers and 80 active ministries with an emphasis on children’s ministries and missions.

A native of Chicago, Dr. Wesley graduated magna cum laude from Duke University with a bachelor of science in biomedical and electrical engineering. While in medical school, Dr. Wesley yielded to the call of God and walked away from a path to a medical career to attend seminary at the prestigious Boston University School of Theology where he was a Martin Luther King, Jr. scholar and a summa cum laude graduate in biblical studies and African American religious history. He received his doctor of ministry in preaching from Northern Baptist Seminary.

Pastor Wesley has also received an NAACP Image Award and the Beyond Duke Award for alumni contributions to the world.
