Our Deacons

Deacons are the hands and feet of Jesus at Bethel. Whether it’s ensuring Sunday mornings run smoothly or reaching out to meet needs throughout the week, our deacons serve with open eyes and willing hearts. Bethel believes in the scriptural qualifications of deacons (1 Timothy 3) and involve the body in the vetting and election of this group each year.

Originally from South Louisiana, Jacob moved to Dallas shortly after graduating from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA. Jacob and his wife Lauren were married in 2008 and have two children Brooks (9) and Aleece (6).

In 2013, their daughter Aleece, was unexpectedly born with a Congenital Heart Defect that has required several open heart surgeries. They have always had a strong faith in Jesus Christ, but this rocked the family to the core and strengthened them more than ever before. Philippians 4:13 became a motto for the Davis family: “I can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength.” While Aleece was undergoing physical open heart surgery, the family was undergoing spiritual and emotional open heart surgery. Jacob and Lauren took this experience and applied it to their passion for sharing the gospel with others. Jacob was in the corporate world as an Executive in the Energy business for 11 years before surrendering to full time vocational ministry. He served as the Student Pastor at Woodcreek Bible Church and First Baptist Henderson. Jacob and Lauren also own a sports fitness ministry- Strong Heart Fitness Ministry. Jacob also serves as the Head Basketball Coach at Full Armor Christian Academy and the Character Coach/Chaplain for Henderson High School Football.
