Minister Slater Joel Johnson is a Hampton Roads, Virginia native whose calling is to lead people into the presence of God. Recognized across the United States and internationally as a Christian recording artist, Slater has toured Europe with Michael M. Smith and has shared programs with Peggy Britt, Marvin Sapp, Vernon Gordon, Pastor Norman Hutchins, Bishop Jason Nelson, Deon Kipping, Zacardi Cortez, and J.J. Hairston. He also appeared on the live recording of Bishop Kim Brown Presents Earl Bynum and The Mount Unity Choir, whose performance earned the 2014 Stellar Award for Contemporary Choir of the Year.

Today, Slater is not limited to the stage, but answering the call to broader ministry service—helping strengthen worship and arts ministries across churches in Hampton Roads. He believes singing is his gift, but his purpose is to glorify God and bless people.

Slater is married to Shaunica Johnson, and they enjoy life with their four children.
