Marvin Perkins

Marvin Perkins of Los Angeles, California, is a 17-year convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He came to the Church after searching every religion he could find, for more than five years, in search of what he called “the real church.” Born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York, just 90 miles west of Palmyra, he had never heard of the Church. When one of his business associates wanted to come out to see him perform, this desire set off the missionary experience that would lead to his baptism into the Church three months later.

Marvin currently serves as co-chair for Genesis Public Affairs; his former service includes:

  • Director of African-American Relations, Southern California Public Affairs Council
  • Southern California Genesis Mission Leader
  • Genesis Mission Leader
  • Gospel Doctrine Teacher
  • Seminary Teacher
  • Ward Mission Leader
  • Executive Secretary to the Bishop
  • Elders Quorum Presidency
  • Various positions in the Primary and Young Men’s organization
