Chris Davis grew up in a strong Christian family in a suburb of Atlanta. After graduating from Samford University (Birmingham, AL) with a music degree, he spent two years as an associate pastor in southern West Virginia. Through the various ministry opportunities there God confirmed Chris' desire to preach His word in a pastoral position. To be more equipped for this work, Chris attended The Bethlehem Institute in Minneapolis, MN for training in the Biblical languages, preaching, and theology.

Chris has been the preaching pastor at WABC since Fall 2005, and is currently completing his Masters of Divinity Degree at Phoenix Seminary. God has blessed Chris well beyond what he deserves in his wife, Rachael, and his children, Sophia, Stephan, and Marcus.
