Community Church, a multi-cultural multi-denominational congregation in

University Divinity School in Winston Salem, NC in May 2007. He graduated
as the Margaret Woodford Guthrie Distinguished Scholar. He is now the
proud father of Owen Matthew Davis, a bubbly 13 month old who is working
on saying “banana”. Adam is genuine in his search to follow
Christ in a post-denominational, post-Christendom world where the lines
delineating the
sacred and secular are not defined. Adam is passionate about encountering
youth at this critical time, offering them a safe space and inviting them
to challenge the social norms, always seeking what it means to follow
Christ TODAY.
