Edward Long is the Youth Director for the Jr. High & Sr. High Student Ministries at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church (Lithonia, Georgia) under the leadership of his father, spiritual pioneer and international visionary Bishop Eddie L. Long. As a Director of a youth ministry and a recently ordained minister (February 2009), Mr. Long is frequently called upon to minister around the country at various events.

Giving back to the community continues to be one of the most important aspects of ministry to Edward. Whenever his schedule permits, he devotes his time to young people who have the desire to lead a positive life by growing educationally, physically and spiritually.
