The Baptist work began in the village in the late fifties and sixties with a Sunday School ministry by people coming once a week from Nazareth.
The Ministry of Rev. Suhail Ramadan, along with his wife Fida and their family of two sons and a daughter, began in 1971 after they returned from their theological training at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Zurich, Switzerland. As of August 2004, Rev. Hani Shehadeh pastors the church, due to the physical inability of Rev. Ramadan because of Parkinson’s disease diagnosed over two years prior to that date. Rev. Shehadeh is from Kufur-Yaseef (a 45 minute drive west of Turan)
The Turan Evangelical Baptist Church today has an attendance of about 100 people in the weekly service.
It also has a daughter church in the nearby village of Eilaboun, 15 minutes drive northward, with Rev. Khalid Dalleh as its pastor.
