Tehillah Church Ministries is also a shelter to those who have been forgotten and left behind; to provide guidance; and to promote a lifestyle of salvation during a time when it seems that Christian living is less than popular. His ministry concentrates in the following areas: purpose, excellence, worship and praise, servant hood, and leadership. Tehillah Church Ministries continues to be on the cutting edge of true ministry; moving in the direction that God has assigned… to Kingdom Ministry.

area of servant hood, Bishop Slater has become an authority on the Ministry of Helps with emphasis on
training Adjutants, Armorbearers, Handmaidens, and Spiritual Protocol.
He was privileged to sit at the feet of Apostle Walter L. Barbour who mentored him in dealing with ministry
relationships, which assisted in equipping the people of God to build the Kingdom. Having been appointed to

endeavors of church leadership. Bishop Slater is the Presiding Bishop of Tehillah International Fellowship.
He formerly served as Bishop of Protocol. He is also the Bishop of Episcopacy of the International Alliance of
