Turner named Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention executive director

Trey Turner, pastor of Church at Wazeecha, which he and his wife Lea Ann planted 16 years ago, will become the next executive director of the Minnesota-Wisconsin Baptist Convention June 1, 2025.

Turner was elected at the April 25–26 MWBC Executive Board meeting at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Rochester, Minn.

He was recommended by a 12-person search committee elected last September when longtime executive director Leo Endel announced his retirement, setting June 30, as his final day, when he will have completed 23 years of service. Endel and Turner will overlap for one month to facilitate a smooth transition.
