Sis. Cheryl Morgan Young
Cheryl Morgan Young is blessed of God to be
one of his servants in the Ministry of
Music. She strives to share God’s gift of
music and to encourage others to expand
their talents in the ministry of music.
She is the only daughter of Doctors Joseph
and Evelyn Morgan and was practically born a
musician. The Lord blessed her to play
piano at home at the age of three and
one-half years old and then later began
playing in Jerusalem M. B. Church as the
Sunday School musician at ten years old. As
a teenager, she expanded her
responsibilities to the Youth and Young
Adult Concert Choir as one of the
musicians. As an adult, her
responsibilities expanded more as one of the
musicians for the Sanctuary Choir and the
Mass Choir at Jerusalem M. B. Church.
As a child being reared in a minister’s and
a musician’s home, she came in contact with
many musicians and was constantly exposed to
the field of music through her mother’s
connections and efforts. She grew up in the
Morgan’s Studio of Musicianship and later
began teaching in the studio until high
school graduation. She was always active in
all music activities from grade school
through college and beyond.
Among her early music activities, she was

Missouri for eight years serving alongside
her mother who was Music Director and

She has participated with the National
Congress Musicals when it was here in early
1980’s and sang with the Legend Singers in
the early 1990’s. She has participated in
several Winter Music Readings with the

Wilson to further her understanding of the
Ministry of Music in the Black Baptist
Churches. She assisted Sis. Shirley
Hairston in her solo concerts and with Rev.

been the Director of Music (3 ½ years) and
is currently the Lead Musician (3 ½ years)
for the Jerusalem M. B. Church to which
multiple choirs are participants in the
music department.
The Lord inspired her to continue the Music
Workshops originally established by her
mother, Dr. Evelyn H. Morgan. This is the 5th
Annual Music Worshop. It has evolved from a
workshop to a workshop worship service.
Christians from multiple denominations come
together to study and to praise the Lord,
Our God. Truly we enjoy the presence of the
Holy Spirit at each workshop more each
year. Thank You Holy Spirit!

“Complete The Work”
I thank my God upon every remembrance of
you,
always in every prayer of mine for you all
making request with joy, for your
fellowship in the gospel from the first day
until now;
being confident of this very thing, that he
which hath begun a good work in you will
perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ.
- Philippians 1:3-6 (KJV)
I the LORD have called thee in
righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and
will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles
- Isaiah 42:1-6 (KJV)
YOURS,
BECAUSE OF CHRIST
