Natalie Davis

Natalie Davis grew up in Portland Oregon before attending undergrad at Azusa Pacific University. She got her degree in Communication Studies learning about the ways in which people interact in personal and professional settings, along with a minor in youth ministry.

During her time in college, she volunteered heavily with Young Life. After her first year, she grew the local middle school club from 7 students to 25 and took on the role of team leader for the next 2.5 years. During 2020, she was the interim high school director for her home church in Portland Oregon before starting at SMCC in summer of 2021.

Since working at SMCC, the youth group has grown to have over 50 active students. Her overall goal is that every student who interacts with this ministry feels safe, loved, and known. The majority of her time is spent building relationships through youth group events such as game nights and weekend retreats, or through spending time with them outside of church and showing up for their athletic, musical, dance performances, and more.

Natalie married her husband Danny on their 5th dating anniversary in April of 2023. She is involved in 2 local pediatric cancer non-profits (Sam Day Foundation and UKANDU). During their free time, Natalie and Danny spend time out with friends, playing with their niece & nephew, and bragging about the one time they did a triathlon together.
