Pastor Ruth Ollison - training disciples who train disciples!

A media personality at heart, Ruth Allen Ollison dedicated much of her professional career to radio and television, showing renowned strengths in news reporting, anchoring and management.  Her expertise in media enhanced many markets including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Washington D.C. One of her favorite roles included starting up the news department at an NBC affiliate in Tyler, TX -- not far from her rural roots in the northeast Texas community of Piney.

After two decades in the broadcasting industry, Ollison sought to transform the conditions that she had covered for so long as a journalist. She landed in inner city Houston, where she bought a crack house in one of the most notorious areas of the city and started a ministry while earning a Master's Degree in Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and Doctorate of Ministry (Spirituality and Transforming Community) from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.

Currently, she manages several professional and personal commitments.  She is an adjunct professor at Houston Baptist University, Houston Graduate School of Theology and B.H. Carroll Theological Institute.  She pastors Beulah Land Community Church. She manages Mt. Eden Properties, a real estate investment firm, which enabled her to become financially prosperous. And, most importantly, Pastor Ruth enjoys her distinguished roles as wife to Quincy and mother to Jacob.
