Alfred Street Baptist Is Becoming A Black Church Powerhouse — Here's Why

Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia has quietly become one of the most powerful Black institutions in America — and its story starts over 220 years ago. In this video, we trace the church's roots back to 1803, when twelve Black members began meeting in a courthouse basement under laws designed to keep them silent, all the way to today, where under Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley the congregation has grown to over 10,000 members and given away millions of dollars to communities in need. #AlfredStreetBaptistChurch #BlackChurchPowerhouse #HowardJohnWesley #BlackChurchHistory #BlackExcellence
