Demetrius

Demetrius Davis inspires people to make change in themselves, their communities, and circles of influence. He serves as Lead Pastor of CityPoint Community Church, a Chicago, Bronzeville faith community that fuses hip-hop, pop culture, and social justice to present a liberative gospel message. He holds a Master of Arts in Public Ministry degree from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, where he studied theologically-grounded paths to racial justice and cooperative economics. He also holds a BA in Secondary Education and History from Northeastern Illinois University. He brings to CityPoint the gift of innovation, and an uncanny ability to connect socially-conscious Millennials to the gospel of Jesus Christ. A gifted preacher, speaker and lecturer, Demetrius’s sermons have been archived at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture and he has been hosted as guest speaker on topics ranging from church innovation to urban education at noteworthy institutions including Princeton Theological Seminary and the University of Notre Dame. He, and spouse, Karla Davis, are also real estate developers and co-hosts of the Young and Debtless Podcast.
