Davis Kyambadde

Davis Kyambadde

Church Warden in Training

Davis Kyambadde has a deep love for the Word of God and its original context. He believes that understanding the "paths of righteousness" begins with a careful look at the beauty and integrity of the biblical text. Raised in an ecclesiastical household, he came to know the grace, forgiveness, and love of the Lord, and the reality of a personal relationship with Him. Davis finds joy in making the deep truths of Scripture both accessible and transformative. He is passionate about seeing lives restored through the Gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. For him, the Bible is not simply a book to be studied, but a living well of truth that reveals the grace of God. His love for Scripture flows from the conviction that, whether pastor, teacher, or congregant, we all stand equally in need of and equally transformed by that same grace. Shaped by the truth that "love is patient, love is kind" (1 Corinthians 13:4), he seeks to walk in a way that reflects what Scripture makes plain—that it is grace, not performance, that draws us, holds us, and makes us whole.
