Recently, Lt. Col. Jim Davidson was named state chaplain for the South Carolina National Guard (SCARNG). The 秀色短视频-Webb alumnus received his bachelor鈥檚 degree in religious education in 1996 and his Master of Divinity in 1999.

The leadership of the South Carolina Army National Guard chose Davidson for the position based on his achievements, accomplishments, and dedication to the Chaplain Corps of the U.S. Army. Davidson鈥檚 accomplishment was celebrated in a story written by 1st Lt. Franklin McGuire, and photos were published .

Davidson said in the article, 鈥淏y far, the highlight of my service with the SCARNG has been this selection as the next State Chaplain. This is an amazing honor, and I am humbled by the trust and confidence the leadership sees in my ability to lead the Chaplain Corps.鈥�

Davidson joined the Army in January 2003, prompted by the events of 9/11. Nearly 20 years later, he has accumulated a long list of accomplishments in the Army National Guard, having served in both the North Carolina and the Virginia National Guards before transitioning into the South Carolina Army National Guard in 2017.

Davidson has mobilized twice as well, first in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from October of 2003 to January 2005 and, second, in support of Operation Spartan Shield from October 2016 to July of 2017. He has faithfully served the soldiers of the 263rd AAMDC (鈥淎rmy Air and Missile Defense Command鈥�) in Anderson, S.C., and the Regional Training Institute (鈥淩TI鈥�) at McCrady Training Center in Columbia, S.C., by being the Chaplain of both units at various times over the past five years.

On the civilian side of his career, Davidson is a committed leader within the ministry as well, leading Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Indian Land, S.C., as its senior pastor.

Whether in or out of uniform, Davidson鈥檚 passion and calling remain true to the motto of the Chaplain Corps鈥攖o serve and lead 鈥淔or God and Country.鈥�
