Brother R.J. Saladin was saved when he was eleven years old and received the assurance of his salvation when he was twenty‐seven years old.  The Lord called him to preach when he was thirteen years old.  After graduating from Oklahoma Baptist College in May 2004 with a diploma in Church Ministries, in August of 2004 he married Jeannette Liles.  They worked in youth ministry in St. Louis, Missouri, from 2007‐2008, before moving back to Oklahoma City in the winter of 2008.  The Saladins have three children:  Alena, Julia and Micah.

Brother Saladin has brought a fresh perspective to our youth group, and challenges them to grow in the Lord while having a ton of fun.  Brother and Mrs. Saladin serve additionally in the Sunday school, choir, and nursery ministries.
