Meet our team


HEF TURNER | Director

Heather “Hef” Turner has a deep passion for helping Fellows discover more of who God has created them to be and guiding them to see what they might not yet see in themselves and to grow in confidence in God’s unique call on their lives.

Originally from southwestern Virginia, Hef attended Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina. After graduation, she served on Young Life staff in Shelby for six years before moving with her husband, CT, and their daughter, Reese, to his hometown of Winston-Salem. They later welcomed their second daughter, Miller Jane.

Hef joined the Winston-Salem Fellows staff in 2019 and became Director in 2024 after serving as Assistant and Co-Director. She enjoys slow Saturday mornings with a good cup of dark roast coffee, hikes on crisp fall days, and family movie nights with CT, Reese, and Miller Jane.

STEVE ANGLE | Assist. Director

Steve has been walking with and discipling young men and women for over forty years. He loves that God reveals Himself in Holy Scripture—that His written Word takes us again and again to the Living Word, Jesus, and His gospel of grace. Steve has given his life to studying and ministering that Word to others. 

Before joining the Fellows, Steve served on staff with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, received a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling and a Master of Divinity, and planted and pastored two churches. 

Steve and his wife Christy have two married daughters and three grandchildren.

In addition to those loves, he enjoys running, reading, woodworking, and watching the transforming power of the gospel change lives and relationships.
