Dr. Alvin J. Gwynn, Jr.

Mar 21

On Sunday, May 18, 2008, Reverend Alvin J. Gwynn, Jr. was installed as the 10th pastor of Leadenhall Baptist Church.

In 2006, Reverend Gwynn received a Master of Divinity degree from Howard University School of Divinity, and in May 2010, he received a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Biblical Theological Seminary in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. He has been actively preaching throughout the Baltimore Metropolitan area and served as a Bible Study instructor at Leadenhall and Friendship Baptist Church.

He served as Associate Pastor at Friendship Baptist and at Leadenhall and worked under the leadership of the late Dr. Eddie R. Wilson, Jr. Under his leadership, Leadenhall’s ministry vision was birthed out of Acts 1:8, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” As an outgrowth of his visions, Dr. Gwynn has developed and maintained a strong presence in the South Baltimore Community—leading outreach efforts that support

the health and human services needs of the less fortunate in the community. Among his many accomplishments are the construction of the Education Building that added several classrooms to the building, the installation of an elevator, the enhancement of many Christian Education initiatives, the establishment of the South Creek Community Development Corporation, and the construction of the Leadenhall Community Center.
