Bishop Reginald Lamont Kennedy
The year 2017 marks the 44rd preaching (ministerial) anniversary of this Baltimore, Maryland native, Bishop Reginald Lamont Kennedy. From the moment he preached his inaugural gospel message at the tender age of eleven, this anointed man of God has touched and is touching hundreds of lives as a highly sought-after preacher, teacher, keynote speaker, lecturer and seminar leader in the religious and business communities.
Gospel Tabernacle Baptist Church, located in the heart of Baltimore’s inner city, acknowledges that God sent this young pastor to them twenty-three years ago knowing the future and heightened level of ministry upon which they would embark together. Bishop Kennedy is the Senior Pastor, with his youngest son, Rev. Daniel Kennedy, serving as Assistant Pastor.
