  9. Why There Is No Reliable Figure

The Rev. Dr. Alyn E. Waller has been senior pastor of Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia since 1994, leading a congregation reported at about 15,000 members. He also founded the gospel label Enon Music Group (EMG). No reputable outlet has published a net worth figure or salary for him.

What is Alyn Waller's Net Worth?

There is no reliable published estimate. This page previously said $32.3 million, but that figure had no source and we have removed it. Pastors of large churches rarely have their pay made public, because churches in the United States do not have to file the annual Form 990 that other nonprofits do.

What can be documented is the scale of his work: a church of roughly 15,000 members, per the Pennsylvania Capital-Star and Gospel Mix Radio; a record label that has operated for about 10 years; and a charity arm that set out to give away $100,000 in 2026. None of that tells us his personal wealth.

Alyn Waller Yearly Earning, Monthly Income, and Salary?

His salary has not been disclosed. The old page said he earns $750,000 a year "according to an investigation," but no such investigation could be found, so the yearly, monthly and daily figures have been removed. His possible income sources are his pastoral compensation from Enon, which the church does not publish, and his music, including an EP that Gospel Mix Radio said helped take his career streams past one million. Music royalties at that level are modest.

Early Life & Family

Waller is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, he said at a 2020 street-renaming ceremony reported by the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. He has said the gift of music came to him at about age eight, in an interview with JubileeCast.

His wife, Ellyn Jo Waller, is described as Enon's first lady by the Philadelphia Sunday Sun. Music runs in the family: his cousin Garland "Miche" Waller is Enon's music director, vice president of EMG and executive director of EMG Cares. Garland Waller told CBS Philadelphia that his late grandfather, the Rev. John B. Waller, bought him his first piano. The old page's generic claims about a "family of preachers" and a career in financial services had no source and have been removed.

Education

He uses the title Doctor, and outlets refer to him as the Rev. Dr. Alyn E. Waller. The earlier version of this page said he graduated from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary. We could not confirm that in the sources we reviewed, so we are not stating it as fact.

The church is in East Mount Airy in northwest Philadelphia and holds services that draw thousands each week, CBS Philadelphia reported. Waller has described himself as fundamentally a pastor, with the label and music serving as tools for that ministry. He told JubileeCast that he recorded with Habedank, a white Christian artist, to reach across racial and political divides among American Christians.

The earlier version of this page said he is an executive coach at an organization called Righteous Warrior. We found no reliable source for that and removed it.

Community Work

When Philadelphia renamed part of West Coulter Street after him, Councilwoman Cindy Bass led the effort with backing from every council member, and State Sen. Sharif Street credited him with bringing people together on violence and unemployment. At the ceremony Waller spoke about gentrification in Germantown and his hope that residents of every background could stay and share the neighborhood.

EMG Cares, the label's nonprofit, began its 2026 tour with a gift to the Palmer House in Houston and planned stops in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Harrisburg, finishing in Dallas in December. Organizers said the goal was $100,000 in total donations.

Age, Height, Weight

The Pennsylvania Capital-Star gave his age as 55 at the December 2020 street renaming, which puts him around 60 or 61 in 2026. His height and weight have not been published by a reliable source; the numbers on the old page had no source and have been removed.

Net Worth Compared

Why There Is No Reliable Figure

Church finances in the U.S. are largely private, Enon has not published its pastor's compensation, and no reputable outlet has reported on his personal assets. Any exact net worth you see online for Alyn Waller is an unsourced estimate.
