Alwyn became a Christian in July 1968 at the age of 18. He grew up in the 60's and was playing guitar in local rock 'n roll bands from the age of 14, in his native home of Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. During this period Alwyn and his long time friend (Malcom Wild) began travelling over England and Europe and the States, releasing two studio albums 'Fools Wisdom' and 'Wildwall'. It was at this time that Malcolm and Alwyn, as a gospel duo, found themselves in the US to experience and be a part of the revival that took place there in the early 70's. which became known at that time as the 'Jesus Movement'. Alwyn went on to form the 'Alwyn Wall Band' and release another album 'The Prize'. Alwyn was later invited to the States to be pastor of Calvary Chapel Vero Beach. After about a year of ministry Alwyn had to return back to United Kingdom because he could renew his visa to stay in the States. It was at this point though that he received a call from pastor Brian Brodersen asking Alwyn to join him as the worship leader at a church plant that was to be established in Westminster, London. Alwyn agreed to come along side and help with the work there, then after a couple of years was asked to take on the role of being the pastor. Since that time Alwyn has been the pastor there at Calvary Chapel Westminster, a church of something like 600 people. Alwyn is married to Gloria (whom he met at the age of 14) and together they have 2 children.
