​

Dr. Davis is married to Christopher Davis.  They have been married for over 23 years.  Dr. Davis has one daughter, Kameryn Davis, of whom is her pride, joy and gift from God. 

Dr. Davis loves the Lord and shows it in how she serves His people. She is passionate about winning souls for Christ and believes that the Lord gave her an unconventional ministry with an unprecedented anointing to do just that....WIN SOULS! 

Elevate Church Tallahassee was birth through one of her most difficult times in life...during her second diagnosis of Cancer.  Yet, in spite of her physical struggles, she believed that she heard the Lord say "The time is now."   Just as Abraham did, Pastor Davis stepped out in faith..trusting in God. God has and continues to confirm His word that He is with her "every step of the way." 

Dr. Davis is inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in challenge and controversy.”

One of her favorite quotes is by Marianne Williamson "May every aspect of my being be converted to Truth. May every cell fall into place and serve a higher plan. I no longer wish to be who I was. I wish to be more."
