For the past seven years, Pastor Ralph Tucker has been the steady, welcoming heart of Pentecostal Tabernacle UHC. He’s a scholar with a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt University but he’s most at home when he’s studying the Word together with our church family.

Before leading our congregation, Pastor spent years in the public school systems of both the Carolinas and Ohio. He worked closely with inner-city students, helping them navigate their emotions so they could focus and truly succeed. That heart for healing led him to author his book, Humpty Dumpty Back on the Wall (available on Amazon), which offers a compassionate guide to overcoming mental health challenges through the lens of faith.

When he’s not at the church, you’ll likely find him with family. He’s happily married to Brigitte Lowe, and he finds great joy in being a father to his son and a proud 'Grandpa' to his granddaughter. If you see him, please stop and say hello—he’d love to get to know you by name.
