MEET our pastor:
Dr. Towanda Davis
"Pastor Tee"
Dr. Towanda Theresa Davila-Davis is a trailblazer, leader, and woman of unshakable faith. A native of Miami, Florida, she is a proud graduate of Bethune-Cookman University, where she earned her B.S. in Communications with a Minor in Broadcast Journalism. She furthered her education with a Master’s in Risk Management and Insurance from Florida State University and later obtained a Master’s and Doctorate of Theology from Z.E. Brown Bible College.
​
With over 32 years in Human Services, Dr. Davis has held key leadership, training, and policy positions across State and Federal Government. Prior to retiring in 2018, she served as Florida’s Training Director for Social Security Disability within the Division of Disability Determinations.
​
Currently, she serves as the Chief of Staff for Commissioner Dianne Williams-Cox, where she continues to impact lives through strategic leadership and community advocacy. ​
​In 2017, during one of the most challenging seasons of her life—her second battle with cancer—God birthed Elevate Church Tallahassee. In the face of uncertainty, she chose faith over fear, stepping out like Abraham with full confidence in God’s voice: "The time is now." Seven years later, Elevate Church is thriving, a powerful ministry committed to breaking religious norms, reaching the lost, and leading people to experience God in a fresh, transformative way.
​
Her unconventional yet undeniable anointing is a force that ignites change, revives souls, and draws people into an authentic relationship with God. Beyond the pulpit, Dr. Davis is the Founder of the Cancer Knockout Foundation and El Rapha Ministries, both dedicated to healing, hope, and restoration.​​
​
​Dr. Davis is deeply rooted in community service, serving as an Associate Member of the Tallahassee Jack and Jill of America and Regional Photographer for the South Atlantic Region of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. In 2018, she was honored as one of Tallahassee Democrat’s “25 Women You Need to Know,” a testament to her profound influence. Dr. Davis is also an entrepreneur and creative visionary, owning and operating Ashley Graphics, Multi-Media & Web Design, and Towanda Davis Photography.​
Her passion for storytelling extends beyond the pulpit into the digital world, where she crafts compelling visual narratives. Dr. Davis has been happily married for 28 years to Christopher Davis, her steadfast partner in life and ministry. Together, they have a beautiful daughter, Kameryn Davis, whom she calls her pride, joy, and greatest gift from God. She lives by Marianne Williamson’s powerful words:
"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." And that is exactly what she does—elevating lives, breaking barriers, and fulfilling God’s higher plan.
