William Slater (c. 1794 - ?) was a circuit rider in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Slater was born in England.[1]
Slater was received on trial as a circuit rider in 1822, having spent the previous year working for the presiding elder of the Upper Canada district, William Case.[2] That year, he was assigned to the Thames circuit, where he rode alongside John Parker.[3] The pair oversaw an increase in church membership of twenty-five people.[1] In 1823, he was assigned to the Yonge Street circuit, where he rode alongside John Ryerson. Circuit membership increased that year by 31 to 330.[4]
