At Siloam

Rev. Dr. Young began as pastor of Siloam on June 1, 2004, and served until 2013. His tenure included the free "Meet Your Neighbors" Community Breakfast, which the Membership Committee sponsors every fourth Saturday.

His tenure also included the Your Body Is a Temple Health Ministry (YBIT). Since 2007 it has served the community with health information and free tests, including tests for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, blood pressure and blood glucose. Under his leadership the ministry received a grant from the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA), as part of NBLCA's NYC Council faith-based HIV/AIDS initiative, to educate and test the community about HIV/AIDS.
