Get to Know our Elders

Don Davis

I was born and raised on a ranch 16 miles northeast of Grangeville, Idaho. As a youngster I attended Church at Clearwater Baptist church in Clearwater, Idaho. I moved to Lewiston after graduating High School in 1968. In 1969 I met Lana, the love of my life and we were married in July of 1970. After living in Lewiston 4 years, we moved to Lana’s family farm to help with the farming duties and there we raised our family. While on the farm we attended Winchester Community Church, where I served several years as an Elder and stepped in to deliver a Sunday message when needed. I have always enjoyed working with kids and started a 5th and 6th grade basketball program soon after moving to the farm. In the spring months I would put together a AAU track and field program for kids of all ages and we competed in meets all around the northwest . I ended up at Highland High School in Craigmont and spent 20 years coaching High School basketball and track and field. I retired from farming and a 10 year term as a Lewis County Commissioner in 2017 and Lana and I moved to Lewiston to enjoy a little warmer climate. While searching for a place to worship we found Granite Lake Community Church, and have been blessed beyond measure here. I have enjoyed serving as an Elder here and have grown immensely in my walk with the Lord. Jesus Christ has been a huge influence in our lives as we just celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary. While scripture provides so many beautiful verses, my go to one is Proverbs 3: 5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Luis Jimenez

Luis and his son, Kaden have served the Lord for many years. He can be found working in the Technology Room or part of the worship team playing the bass and box drum. His technical and musical skills have been so very  important for our church.  Over the past number of years Luis has been an integral partner in the youth group and Bible study ministry areas - his love for the Word of God has been a tremendous encouragement to many members of our church family.  One of Luis' great strengths is prayer - he is a prayer warrior and carries such a passion for prayer!!! As he has walked out his faith with a strong bond to the Word of God, his son has followed dad's example with a similar hunger for the scriptures.  Kaden has spoken from the pulpit a number of times and loves serving our church family.
