Our Speaker: Jennifer Slater

Jennifer Slater is a ministry wife and new mom from Oklahoma. She and Garrett have been married for 7 years and last year welcomed their miracle, Lillian Joy Louise. Garrett is a college and education pastor at Bethel Baptist in Norman Oklahoma, near the University of Oklahoma. Jennifer has been teaching music classes for non-major classes at OU since 2009. She is the OU BCM Faulty Sponsor and loves that her job allows her to be in touch with so many college students. Her passion for discipleship, as well as the long investment of her discipler, Sandra, lead her to a Masters of Arts in Discipleship from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, which she finished in December of 2023. She is so excited to be returning to Living Waters and absolutely loved her week at Girls Camp in the summer of 2015!

Music Leader: Nicky Hacker
