Dr. H. Hudson Bobbitt

After resigning as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lambert’s Point, in Norfolk, Virginia, Dr. Bobbitt answered the call to pastor Leadenhall Baptist Church. During his five-year tenure,

the church was able to pay for a new parsonage and liquidate the debt of the annex building. Dr. Bobbitt also restructured Sunday School and instituted a Christian Education program. He instituted an effective tithing system that is in operation today. Two building renovations, a modernized kitchen and

additional Sunday School rooms were constructed during his administration. Dr. Bobbitt resigned in 1968 to accept a call to pastor Salem Baptist Church in New Jersey.
