Ellipsis Founder & Conference Host

Rev. Jennifer Watley Maxell affectionately known as “Rev. Jenn” is the visionary, founder and host of The Ellipsis Experience. She is also the co-founder of The Breakthrough Fellowship where Ellipsis began as the women’s ministry. She says, “I never believed I was good enough, smart enough, or spiritual enough to be in ministry. However, God healed my brokenness and gave me a vision and purpose for my life. My goal is to pass it on and help others experience the transformative, healing power of God through Jesus Christ so they too can manifest lives of vision and purpose.”

Rev. Jenn is a proud graduate of Howard University, and Emory’s Candler School of Theology. She is an ordained elder in the AME Church, a poet and a published author. She resides in Smyrna, Georgia with her husband Charles and their three children Madison, Charles III and Skylar.
