Stephen Davey is the son of missionary parents and was raised to love Christ, His church and His word. In his last year of High School, Stephen committed his life to serving Christ and went on to prepare for a life of servant-leadership at Liberty University, Tennessee Temple University, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, and Dallas Theological Seminary. Stephen also serves as the president of Shepherds Theological Seminary, a young and exciting seminary that has earned accreditation with TRACS and associate membership status with ATS. With an outstanding faculty and growing student body, Shepherds currently meets on the beautiful campus of Colonial which also allows Stephen to interact with the students as well as teach Pastoral Theology and Creative Bible Teaching. Shepherds Seminary is one of Colonial’s most strategic church planting initiatives and it is a rare privilege for our church to be able to support and participate in training our students for pastoring, counseling, teaching, military chaplaincy and a host of additional roles in ministry. As a result of our partnership with STS, Colonial continues to play a vital role in launching church plants, filling numerous pastoral and ministry roles and serving the body of Christ at large. Shepherds now has more than 100 graduates serving in 23 states and in 9 different countries around the world. Stephen has written more than 80 books, study guides, commentaries and booklets, published through Ambassador/Emerald House, Kress Biblical Resources, Charity House Publishers, LOGOS and Wisdom for the Heart. Wisdom's new website now allows listeners to download all of Stephen's audio sermons and transcripts at no charge. Stephen’s messages are now translated into eight languages, heard on more than 250 radio stations world-wide. Stephen and Marsha have been married more than 30 years and have been blessed with twin sons Benjamin [wife Caroline], and Seth [wife Megan]; daughters Candace [husband Cristian] and Charity and three grandchildren, Nicholas, Micah, and Olivia.
