Chuck Davis has served in vocational ministry for over 35 years. He has served as a small church pastor in the U.S. and France, missionary church planter, evangelist and Field Director in Mali, and seminary professor. From 2007-2018 he served as the Lead Pastor of Stanwich Church, a multi- staff, multi-campus, multi-cultural and socio-economic church, located in Greenwich and Stamford, Connecticut. Over that period, he continued to teach as an adjunct professor at various seminaries and Bible schools around the world.
Chuck transitioned from Stanwich Church in 2018, so that he could partner with his wife, Dr. Ingrid Davis, in an itinerant ministry focused on the development and care of leaders for church and mission. Since launching Global Lead, they have ministered on 6 continents and in multiple sites around the United States.
After earning an MDiv at Alliance Theological Seminary (ATS), Chuck went on to complete an MA in Intercultural Studies (ATS) and a PhD in Sociology at Fordham University. He has a special interest in training church leaders to exegete culture for evangelism and mission, and empowering leaders in spiritual warfare for the advancement of the kingdom of God. With his multiple ministry contexts – small and large church, field missionary and mission director, seminary professor – and with his multi-cultural and diverse socio-economic experiences - Chuck brings a wealth of practical experience and understanding to growing leaders and ministry settings.
Chuck and Ingrid have been married for 40 years and have partnered together in ministry in their mutual calling to serve family, church, and mission.
Chuck and Ingrid have three adult children and a son and daughter-in-law, all of whom are settled well in their respective chapters of life and are on mission with God serving in vocations outside of the church. They also have three grandsons who bring them great joy.
Chuck has published four books, delivers ministry through three websites, and has a daily podcast.
