Our History
|
In 1933, Judith Turner donated lands and funds and Turner Memorial
Home was born. Influenced by the needs that surfaced during the
Depression era, the money provided benevolent housing for retired
ministers and missionaries.
|
Today
|
Just as the economic picture of the 1930's evolved to what we have
today, so the ministry of Turner Memorial Home has evolved to that of
Turner Retirement Homes (TRH). Rather than mere fundamental housing,
a variety of housing options exist today. However, TRH has not lost it's essential purpose -
benevolent housing for Christians in need.
|
Our Residents
|
The residents of TRH come from all walks of life, all economic
backgrounds. Ministers, missionaries and other church workers still find the Homes providing a unique
living opportunity. Today, not just church workers, bul all Christians are living
in an affordable community with the same opportunties.

About Financial Resources
|
Residents are from all aspects of the economic strata. If at all possible, residents
pay their own way. The contributions from churches and individuals provides benevolent housing for
some of our residents. The first obligation of our ministry is benevolence.

The Church
and TRH
|
Although residents' fees are a substantial portion of
the monthly income, a considerable portion comes from churches and
individuals. TRH and the churches work together to provide
what could not adequately be done alone. It is a ministry of caring
for God's people together.
