Alfred Street Baptist Church

Congrats! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanzaa! Though I have listening virtually to the Sunday service off and on; let me commend the church on the recently attended Alfred Street Baptist Church Music and Worship Arts Ministry,”Do You Hear What I Hear?”, Production performed at The Kennedy Center on Tuesday December 05, 2023 at 8:00 pm ***Phenomenal! **Outstanding! **Awesome! **Excellent! **Fabulous! ***Well Done!

A historic Black church, since 1803, that's considered a "mega" church based on membership but has a small church feel. All things Alfred Street Baptist Church are excellence personified: the preaching, teaching, singing (choirs & praise team), serving the community (ministries), and giving (tithing the tithe back into the community)

I'm a second time visitor. I came here in September and November of this year. I just had a baby. I'm displeased with the lack of amenities for maternity. I'm a nursing mother and I've had to nurse and change my baby in the choir room in September and the restroom in November. This is uncomfortable and unsanitary. Being a mega church, I'd expect them to be fully furnished with a nursery. If I come back a third time and there's still no nursery, my family will not become members here.

I'm excited to visit this church I've been watching for almost a year. Finally, a visit from Texas arrived at 10:30 am for 11 am for service. I was so disappointed 😔I got there and was sent to the basement to watch on t.v. Parking was across the street from the church. The sermon was good. The Holy Spirit convicted me for my attitude. It's a long trip to not sit in sanctuary, and the church was not full. Thanks be to God that I was able to visit and return home safely.

Bring your tissues! A transformative service experience, every time. The Rev. Dr. Howard John Wesley is a prophet of our times! His messages always leave you with something to think about and increase your sense of awareness — of others and yourself. He breaks down the Bible in way that anyone can understand. The way delivers his messages makes you reflect. He preaches love and life into you. Sometimes tough love, but never intimidating or shame inducing. Think going to church and receiving a therapy lesson. Alfred Street Baptist Church is for everyone but it should be noted for historical context that it’s the oldest and largest Black Baptist church in Alexandria, VA. Come early to get seats in the sanctuary! Services are at 8AM and 11AM but they are subject to change so always check the website. The best part about Alfred Street, you can attend this church from wherever you are. All services are live streamed via YouTube!
