Carolyn accepted Christ at an early age and became a member of Jackson Street Baptist Church. She later joined the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, where she would meet and eventually marry Larry Davis. During her time at Sixth Avenue, she was active in many organizations, including The Deaconess Ministry, The Kindness Ministry, Circle Number 5, Children's Church, Marital Enrichment, as well as several Bible Study groups.
