Paul S. Morton Net Worth

Paul S. Morton has an estimated net worth of $4 million. Born on July 30, 1950 in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, Morton grew up in a religious family where his father served as a Church of God in Christ leader. Morton developed a passion for gospel music at a young age, performing with his brothers in a gospel group called the Junior Voices.

After moving to New Orleans in 1972, he joined Greater St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church as an associate pastor. He rose to prominence by introducing a more charismatic style of worship that incorporated elements of Pentecostal Christianity. Morton led the church from 1975 until 2015 when he became the founding presiding bishop of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International.

Under his leadership, Greater St. Stephen grew from 647 members to one of the largest churches in the region. Morton also expanded his career through gospel recordings, writing books, speaking engagements, and founding churches in Atlanta and Georgia.
