Elder Lloyd Tyrell Alston

Elder Lloyd Tyrell Alston, the youngest of four male children born to Deaconess Sandra A. Alston and the late Deacon T. C. Alston, was born in Halifax County, North Carolina; however, his childhood and teenage life was spent growing up on the streets of the Northeast section of Washington, D.C. He received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and was baptized by immersion at the age of seven (7) in August of 1987 at the South Street Missionary Baptist Church under the hand of the late Reverend Ernest Battle, Sr. There, he grew and matured in God while starting to sing and develop a deep passion for music, praise, and worship beginning at the tender age of three (3).

Believing that one must “study to show themselves approved,” he was a Magna Cum Laude graduate from the Northwest Halifax High School. He then went on to walk “the sloping hills and the verdant green” of North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, graduating with Bachelor of Arts degrees in English Literature, Education, and Vocal Music, with specialties in English and History. Presently, he is studying for the Master of Education degree in Education Administration, specializing in School Leadership at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. He plans to finish his studies for the Master of Divinity degree in Pastoral Leadership upon completion of the Master of Education degree.

Elder Alston heeded the call to the Gospel ministry when he was 10 years old and has been serving in the Gospel ministry for the past 18 years. Desiring to fulfill the Great Commission, he has had the opportunity to preach in churches, great and small, throughout the United States of America. He received full ministerial credentials and was commissioned as an Itinerant Elder on June 12, 2003 under the hand of Bishop Willie Littlejohn of the Mount Calvary Holiness Church, Inc. of Wake Forest, North Carolina. He is the proud son of Overseer Daniel & Elder Valarie Cunningham, under whose hand he will be installed as Establishmentarian & Set Gift of the Greater Destiny Worship Center, Inc. and President of the Greater Kingdom Covenant Fellowship, both headquartered in Reidsville, North Carolina, in 2010, and also Bishop Wallace & Pastor Ozalie Cherry of Durham, North Carolina. Elder Lloyd is the direct beneficiary of mentoring from the late Presiding Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson, under whom he became a son of the Church of God in Christ, and holds auxiliary fellowships with the Church of God in Christ and the United Holy Church of America.
