Our Leadership

Ministry Staff

 

Greg York - Lead Minister

Greg and Michelle came to Oliver Creek in the summer of 2023. Michelle actually grew up in Memphis, so this is something of a homecoming for her. While Greg has not worked at that many churches in his ministry career (just three including OC), he's been in several positions at those places over the years: associate minister, campus minister, preaching minister. There were even a few years when he taught high school Bible at a Christian school. He has degrees from Harding University, Harding School of Theology, and Abilene Christian University. Greg and Michelle have three sons, one daughter-in-law, and two incredible grandchildren. 

 

Logan Hollinsaid - Associate Minister

Logan, through his experience of being raised in a small church has felt pulled to ministry since he was a boy. He attended Harding University and, while at Harding, met his wife, Suzanna, during a study abroad semester in Greece! After getting married in 2017, they moved to Memphis where Logan began a Master of Divinity degree at Harding School of Theology. At the same time, Logan began working as an apprentice at Oliver Creek where he helped start and lead a young adult ministry. He graduated from HST in 2021 and also came on full-time at Oliver Creek as the associate minister!

 

Seth & Jenna Turner - Youth Minister

Seth & Jenna Turner joined us full-time in August of 2021 after 4 years of ministry in Huntingdon, Tennessee! Seth, originally from here in Memphis, and Jenna from Savannah, Tennessee both attended Freed-Hardeman University and were married in May of 2018. In February of 2020 they welcomed their son, Ellis, into the family! We believe God is at work in our youth and we are excited about our bright future together.

 

Suzanna Hollinsaid - Children’s Minister

Suzanna is originally from Franklin, Tennessee. She attended Harding University where she majored in Elementary Education. While at Harding, Suzanna met Logan, her husband, during a study abroad semester in Greece! After getting married in 2017, they moved to Memphis where Suzanna began her work as an elementary school teacher. She has taught fourth, second, and first grades, and in 2019, Suzanna also began working on a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. During two of her summer breaks, Suzanna interned with the Oliver Creek youth group and continued working with the students throughout the school year. Suzanna fell in love with ministry and discussing theology with Logan during his studies. Suzanna is so excited to join the staff as our children’s minister!
