Elder Edward G. Morgan, the third of eight children, was born on May 5, 1932 near Brantley, Alabama into a Christian home filled with the singing of hymns. As a young child he read many books and built a good foundation for studying the Bible in later years.
When he was fifteen years old, his dad joined Bethel Primitive Baptist Church in Covington County, AL. and was ordained to the full work of the ministry in July of 1951. Ed attended church with his Dad until he joined the Navy.
After he was discharged from the Navy, Ed enrolled in college at Auburn where he completed four college quarters and then dropped out so that he could work. He later earned his A. S. degree at Pensacola Junior College. Ed started working at Chemstrand/Monsanto near Pensacola, FL in November 1957 and continued working there until retirement in December 1985. (Ed went home every weekend and attended church with Mom and Dad until he married Nell Sanders on December 20, 1958.)
Ed and Nell started attending Pleasant Home in 1960, where they enjoyed the services very much. As they continued to attend, read church history, and study the Bible, Ed felt more and more that he wanted a home with Pleasant Home Church. That longing became a reality on October 26, 1966, when Elder Burl Phillips announced the open doors of the church and the congregation stood and began to sing “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand”. He was called upon to open services at Pleasant Home for the first time on May 14, 1967, and very soon he learned to expect to be called upon to speak at other churches.
Ed was licensed to preach by Pleasant Home Church July 26, 1969, and was subsequently ordained to the full work of the ministry on April 24, 1971. He was called to serve as Pastor when Elder Burl Phillips stopped serving in 1985. Elder Morgan also, began to serve Palm Chapel Primitive Baptist Church in May of 1971. He served them nine years until Elder Kenneth Cadle moved from West Virginia and was willing to start serving Palm Chapel. Elder Morgan has also served Mt. Pisgah Church at Frisco City, AL and Zion Rest at Excel, AL. |
