Rev. Toby Davis was born in Huntsville, Alabama and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He and the love of his life, Janet, have been married for 26 years. They have 7 children: 3 adult children (Caleb, Hannah and Sarah) and 4 still living at home (Abigail, Esther, Rebekah and Deborah).
Pastor Toby is a graduate of Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. He proudly served our country in Desert Storm and afterward completed his Master of Arts in Religion and his Masters of Divinity degrees at Memphis Theological Seminary. Prior to full-time pulpit ministry, he taught history and Bible and provided leadership as a coach and administrator in Christian schools for 10 years.
Pastor Toby has served as both a bi-vocational and full-time minister over the last 26 years and most recently pastored at Stonegate Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Edmond, Oklahoma. He believes his calling is to partner with the local church in restoring the broken and expanding the Kingdom of God through love and discipleship.
Cynthia Paulk serves as our Pianist. We are so grateful to have her enhance our service with her piano playing.
Karen Reid serves as our Office Secretary. When you call or stop by the church office, you will hear Karen's friendly voice and smile. She has also served our church as a choir member, leader of our women's group, Deacon, and Elder. We are grateful to have Karen serve in this capacity.
Elected Leaders
Within our tradition, the congregation elects Elders to represent them in the business of Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Active Elders make up the Session (the governing body of Spiritual Leaders within a specific congregation). The congregation also elects Deacons (when possible) to serve the poor, widowed, sick, refugees and imprisoned. Typical terms are three years.
