Pastor Malcolm Davis
Senior Pastor


Malcolm Davis has served as Senior Pastor of Central College Church for more than 20 years. Throughout his ministry he has remained committed to helping people encounter Jesus, grow as disciples, and discover how God has uniquely gifted them to serve His Kingdom. His leadership is shaped by Jesus’ model of servant leadership, believing the role of a pastor is not simply to lead, but to equip others to flourish in their calling.

Malcolm serves alongside his wife, Christine, whose partnership has become an integral part of his ministry. Together they share a passion for creating a welcoming church where people feel seen, valued, and invited to take their next step with Christ. They believe that healthy churches are built through authentic relationships, faithful discipleship, and empowering others to use their gifts in service to God’s Kingdom.

After more than 30 years in ministry, Malcolm’s greatest joy remains watching God transform lives and accomplish immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine.


Rev. David M. Redding
Associate Pastor

As David said recently, “The line from the Church Mission Statement that really resonates with me is: Living out the Gospel by: Reflecting the Love of Jesus. It speaks to me and I think gets at the heart of what I believe I’m called by God to do in the precious time he’s given to me.”

David serves Central College Church through personal relationships, prayer, and worship. He regularly visits and facilitates personal interactions in homes, hospitals, retirement communities, and health centers. David guides volunteers in several ministries including Stephen Ministries, Care Callers, Elder Shepherds, and Senior Adult Ministry. David and his wife Bobbie have three children: Ally, Ian, and Cam, who all grew up in the Church..


Tod Linton
Operations Director

Tod Linton brings to Central College Presbyterian Church nine years of operations experience with Goodwill Industries at The Ohio State University, and twelve years of experience in human resources with the State of Ohio, where he played key roles in managing logistics and resources, facility support and program coordination. His operational leadership helped streamline workflows and support both mission‑driven services and day‑to‑day campus activity.

Away from work, Tod is passionate about adventure. He and his wife Diane love traveling—exploring new destinations, cultures, and experiences together. Back home in Ohio, he’s an avid mountain biker, tackling local trails and soaking in nature’s challenge and beauty.

A dedicated operations professional with a spirit for exploration and outdoor fitness, Tod combines methodical organization with a love for life’s journeys—whether at work or out on the trail. In addition, Tod dedicated his life to Christ at the age of 13. He enjoys serving the Lord as a Stephen Minister and through missions work.
