Davis’ dexterity with various audiences stems from his broad spectrum of experiences. In addition to his seventeen years of ministerial experience, Rev. Davis is also a published author, offering books to assist the ecclesiastical community including, Church Without Limits: Connecting to the Millennial Generation, and Unveiling and Retelling Our History: Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina. Rev.

Under the leadership of Rev. Davis, Zion has been blessed to retire all debt on its administrative building and business properties and be listed in the National Register of Historic Places. As Rev.
