Tolan Morgan was born into the world on November 29, 1974 in Detroit, MI. He is the son of Tommie L. Sr. and Hattie Morgan, and the youngest of six (6) children. At age nine (9), Tolan accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior. He then joined the Faith Temple Baptist Church, where his father pastored. During his young adult years at Faith Temple, he taught Bible study for seven (7) years, and served as the minister of music for eleven (11) years. There his gifts as a teacher, musician, and composer would mature.

Yet, God would further reveal His purposes in this man’s life when he acknowledged and announced his call from God to walk in the office of a preacher in July of 1997. On August 24, 1997, Tolan Morgan preached his initial sermon at the Sweet Kingdom Baptist Church, and was ordained in February of 1998. From that point, Tolan began the journey of committing himself to the mission of leading others to Jesus Christ through the Word of God.

​

In January of 1998, God blessed Rev. Morgan’s life with a "good thing! when he met Laneen Houser. On September 25, 1999, Rev. Morgan and Laneen united in holy matrimony, and they are the proud parents of three (3) sons: Richard, Tolan, Jr. and Harold. All that God had done in the life of Rev. Tolan Morgan proved to be preparatory for the awesome assignment of leadership.

 

Thus, in February of 2001, the Lord elevated him to the pastorate of the New St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, MI. He was installed as pastor of the church on March 4, 2001 and pastored there from March 2001-March 2015. During that time, God grew the church from approximately 200-300 people to an active membership of 1500 people. Under Pastor Morgan's leadership, New St. Paul grew exponentially and relocated to an 8-acre campus in June of 2008. The campus included a 1000-seat sanctuary, a school, an activity center, and an administrative building. God gets the glory for the successful body of work He allowed New St. Paul to experience under Pastor Morgan's leadership.

​

After 14 years at New St. Paul, God orchestrated another shift in the life and ministry of Pastor Tolan Morgan. In February 2015, Pastor Morgan was called to pastor the Fellowship Bible Baptist Church in Warner Robins, Georgia; affectionately known as 'The Ship'. Fellowship Bible owns and operates 7 buildings throughout 40 acres of land highlighted by the "Faith Dome" sanctuary that seats 2000 people. Fellowship Bible continues to grow and advance God’s kingdom under Pastor Tolan Morgan’s leadership.
