One of America’s oldest and largest African-American churches, Alfred Street Baptist Church, in Alexandria, Virginia, announced Tuesday that it has donated more than $1 million in surplus tithes to help a variety of community-based organizations since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. A few years ago we were blessed to be able to donate $1 Million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. That s why I m so grateful to God that Alfred Street Baptist Church can continue to be a blessing to so many people in the community throughout our nation during this pandemic, the Rev. Howard-John Wesley, senior pastor of the historic 10,000-member church, said in a statemement.
