Who We Are & What We Do

Our Story
Jennifer McNeal, previously known as Jennifer Turner, is the youngest daughter of Apostle Clifford E. Turner and Denise Marian Turner. Driven by a profound love for children and an unwavering desire to make a positive impact in their lives, she embarked on a transformative journey dedicated to working with youth.
​
This journey led to the creation of Denise's Home, a heartfelt endeavor inspired by the memory of Jennifer's late mother, whom she never had the privilege to meet personally. Denise Marian became the guiding light that fueled Jennifer's passion for assisting young individuals who may struggle with feelings of insignificance, helping them uncover their inherent purpose bestowed by God.
​
Denise's Home stands as a living testament to Jennifer's perception of her mother's indelible imprint on the world. Though reliant solely on photographs and accounts from those intimately acquainted with Denise Marian, Jennifer hopes that as you explore and bear witness to her mother's life as a woman, sister, wife, and mother, you will come to recognize the profound legacy she left behind. Not only was she a co-pastor and a mother, but she also blazed trails, nurtured sisterhood, fostered friendships, and, above all, served with unwavering dedication.

"I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to introduce my mother to you, as you have now become an integral part of our extended family. Thank you for visiting, and I eagerly anticipate the privilege of serving you in the future." - Jennifer McNeal
