​
Unbeknown to Bro. Davis, God was preparing him for preaching. In August 2003, he enrolled in Harding School of Religion - formerly Harding Graduate School of Religion - in Memphis, TN. He intended to use the Master of Divinity for philosophy, but God shifted his focus. Bro. met Dr. Harold R. Redd, minister of the Midtown and Raleigh Springs Churches of Christ. Through their relationship, God used Dr. Redd and the M.A.Scholarship program to train Bro. Davis for ministry. The Scholarship financially assists and spiritually encourages African American men in their graduate studies. Through the Scholarship Bro. Davis matured as a preacher, teacher and youth ministry leader. He also married Sis. Stephannie Brown in October 2005. In May 2010, Bro. Davis graduated and received his Master's of Divinity.

After graduation, Bro. Davis labored with the Raleigh Springs Church of Christ. This experience nurtured Bro. Davis's passion for ministering, preaching and teaching. On Sunday, July 2, 2017, Bro. Davis preached his first sermon as the minister of the Spencer Church of Christ. He and Sis. Davis anticipate great opportunities for Spencer to serve the Lord.
