Elder Murrell is a native of Long Beach California. He was born in February 1943 to Emmett B. Murrell, Sr. and Luella Mays.  He was nine years of age when he lost his father to illness.   Emmett’s mother was saved and surrendered herself to God the year following her husband’s death.  She was a faithful member of Christ Second Baptist Church, in Long Beach, where she raised Emmett and his siblings, and where he was baptized. 
 
He attended Long Beach Poly High School where he excelled in sports. He lettered in Track, Football, Baseball, and Basketball.  While in the 11th grade, Emmett took up Boxing.  He competed in boxing matches and won the Western States Golden Gloves Championship.
 
Emmett was the first member of his family to attend college.  He received an Associate of Arts Degree from Santa Monica College then went on to receive a Bachelor of Arts Degree from California State University at Northridge (CSUN) in 1975.
 
He began his work for youth in 1966 at the San Pedro Boys Club. He worked for the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club in 1970 – 1975.  From 1975 – 1982 Emmett served as the Director of Youth Employment for the Los Angeles Urban League (LAUL).  From 1982 – 1983 He provided support for the Watts-Willowbrook Boys Club.  Between his employment with the LAUL and Watts-Willowbrook Boys Club, he founded and established Murrell’s Farm and Boys Home where he still serves today as the Director and Chief Administrator. 
 
Emmett moved to the Antelope Valley in 1990 where he later founded Murrell’s Community Service Agency to provide court ordered and contracted services to needy families and youth.  He joined First Missionary Baptist Church in 1991 and was installed as a Deacon in 2000, ordained as a Minister in 2004, and elevated to the station of Elder in December 2006 where he now serves under Bishop Henry Hearns, Senior Pastor of Living Stone Cathedral of Worship, formerly First Missionary Baptist Church.
 
Emmett is the recipient of numerous awards, honors, certificates, and public recognitions throughout Los Angeles County because of his work for youth, families, and the underserved members of the community.  He currently serves on the Board of the Black Infant Health program and is also an expert hunter, marksman, and horseman.  He is a member of the High Desert Posse and the Cowboys and Cowgirls Association.
