Hailing from the storied halls of Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, First Lady Tinalisa Turner brings a radiant warmth and steadfast devotion to Oak Ridge Missionary Baptist Church. As our Ministers’ Wives Coordinator, she lovingly shepherds and supports the women who stand alongside our pastoral team, and for years she inspired countless young hearts as Coordinator of the Young Women’s Society.

Tinalisa’s humility and passion for Christ shine through in every corner of our ministry. Whether she’s greeting first-time visitors with a warm smile, hosting comforting fellowship over coffee after worship, or offering a listening ear following the final hymn, her love for God and for His people is unmistakable. A devoted partner to Pastor Dr. Ricky D. Turner, she stands as his greatest encourager—and our congregation’s—model of grace, strength, and servant-heart leadership.

Beloved by all who know her, First Lady Turner’s gentle spirit and unwavering presence at every church gathering remind us that true ministry happens when we give of ourselves, joyfully and without reserve. Under her care, our Oak Ridge family continues to grow deeper roots and bear lasting fruit for God’s Kingdom.
