Pastor Rob Davis

and Page, Ian, Connor and Grant

Rob Davis accepted the call of the Bible Church of Cabot on May 20, 2010. He has been in vocational ministry since 1994, beginning as an associate pastor of music and youth before attending Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1997. Since graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Masters of Divinity degree in 1999, he has served as a preaching/senior pastor at churches in Indiana and Illinois.

Rob is passionate about grace-filled, Christ-centered, expository teaching. His preaching is expository, usually investigating books of the Bible verse-by-verse; and his task is to explain the text's original meaning in its Biblical and historical context, and then to bridge the gap of time by illustrating and applying the truths of the text to our lives today. This type of preaching leads to transformed lives as God’s children seek, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to be obedient to His Word. He also has a God-inspired passion to shepherd His flock in a Spirit-empowered church where Christ’s love is demonstrated among believers.

He has been married to his lovely wife Page since 1982, and they have 3 boys, Ian, Connor and Grant.

Rob earned his undergraduate degree in Music Education and served 12 years in the U.S. Navy Band in Washington DC. He has also been a university level percussion professor and a high school band director, so music has served both as a vocation and an avocation. His sons are equally avid musicians and the family enjoys playing together. Rob is also a die-hard Cardinals baseball fan.

Rob’s approach to ministry is fueled by the sovereign work of God in Christ that the Bible constantly teaches in verses like these:

Now the God of Peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus or Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is blessing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

--Hebrews 13:20-21
 

Leadership Core Values

- As God supplies Biblically qualified leaders, the church will have two or more men who function as pastors (also called elders or overseers). These men will lead the church by unanimous agreement as they discern the will of Christ through study, mutual exhortation and prayer. Other Biblically qualified men may be selected to serve the church as deacons, handling practical responsibilities delegated to them by the elders.

- The pastoral leaders are to shepherd (feed, care, and lead) the church as well as equip believers for their various God-appointed ministries. They are to function as "player-coaches" who have as their aim the training and engagement in ministry of individual believers.

- Preaching and teaching responsibilities will not be restricted to any one man, but will be shared by all gifted in these areas. Those elders who rule well, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching, shall be considered worthy of financial support. Such support, if given, will not imply inequality among the elders.
