"God has provided so many very unique and diverse opportunities for me so...since i'm a big guy and about 6'5" tall, I call myself a rather large chameleon!" -Gavin M. Davis

Gavin Davis is the Worship Leader at McLean Bible Church - Prince William Campus in Manassas, VA and a Christian Contemporary/Gospel solo artist, musician, songwriter, and producer.

Through all of Gavin’s experiences, God created a desire in him to lead people to Him, worshiping God in spirit and in truth, with the understanding our truth is that we are absolutely nothing without Him! In creating that desire, God graciously gave Gavin the desire of his heart for full-time music ministry. Seeing people worship the Lord freely and having experiences with His presence is what he loves! As a minister of the Gospel, songwriter and recording artist, Gavin continues to create "songs of substance". He shares the Gospel message and encourages all people to use their talents for God's purposes.

“Just like the Word of God, God has inspired my music to bless people, young and old, for His glory. I believe my music needs to be heard because there is a remnant of people who will need to be encouraged, lifted up, and even saved through what God allows them to hear. I pray and I believe that this ministry is one of the avenues God will use to reach more people with His inspired words that have been given to me through song. Lord, Thank You for the scrolls from Heaven.”
