Lester Orwig

Member

In June 1982, Lester Orwig and his family settled in Talala, where he took on the role of pastor at the First Baptist Church. A Tulsa native, Lester graduated from Will Rogers High School in 1967. Since 2001 he has been an influential member of the town’s board, including approximately nine years of service as mayor. His tenure as pastor for over four decades has offered him a unique perspective on the community’s evolution — watching the young children of the early ’80s grow into adults, start their own families, and see their children mature. Reflecting on Talala’s growth, Lester takes pride not only in infrastructural and economic advancement but in the deepening sense of community and quality of life.
