Historical NoteReturn to Top

Reverend France Albert Davis was born in Gough, Georgia on December 5, 1946 to John and Julia Davis. Before becoming the leader of Utah's most prominent black church, Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, Davis was a participant in the civil rights campaigns of Martin Luther King Jr. His decision to devote his life's work to ministry came after his participation in the March on Washington in 1963 and the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march in 1965. Davis served in the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic from 1966 to 1970.

In 1972, Davis moved to Salt Lake City, Utah as a teaching fellow and graduate student at the University of Utah. He became a faculty member in the Department of Communication and Ethnic Studies a year later. He joined Calvary Baptist Church in 1972 and became the full-time pastor in 1974. He also serves as the chaplain to the U football team.

Having retired from the U in July 2014, Davis holds the title of Adjunct Associate Professor Emeritus. Davis also holds several degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric from the University of California at Berkeley, a Bachelor of Science in Religion from Westminster College, a Master of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of Utah and a Master of Arts in Ministry from Northwest Nazarene University. Davis' life-long devotion to education has been honored by four scholarships in his name; three locally and one in Miami. He has also served as the secretary of the Salt Lake Ministerial Association, a member of the South Africa Preaching Team for the National Baptist Convention's Foreign Mission and as advisor, vice-president and assistant to the dean of the Intermountain General Baptist Convention.

Davis is married to Willene Davis. The couple has three children: Carolyn, Grace, and France.
