Dr. William Cox | Church Elder
Dr. William Cox joined Harvest Church in 1982 just several months after it started. He soon became a deacon/trustee and has also served as an Elder at Harvest since 1999.
In 1980, he was one of the three founding faculty members of the School of Education at Regent University. He served as professor and director of its Christian Education Master’s and Doctoral programs until 2020. He has held various leadership positions in Religion and Education and has received numerous honors including selection as Teacher of the Year at Regent University. A decorated military veteran, he was a B-52 navigator and bombardier in the Air Force serving 5 years active and 15 years in the Reserves. He has more than 50 professional publications, has developed Christian education curriculum, and has lectured internationally in the field of education.
His particular interests are three-fold: to help restore citizens flourishing (consistent with the biblical foundations) of U.S. governing documents, to enable parental educational choice without civil government mandates, and to promote the development of Christian/Kingdom education. His book Tyranny Through Public Education addresses the inappropriateness of federal government control of education. His goal for Harvest is to see it continue to reach the community around!
