As a young boy, Pastor Cooper felt a tugging at his heart to be involved in ministry; however, it was not until he was 18 that he accepted his calling to ministry. Pastor Cooper was licensed into the ministry in 1997. Pastor Cooper continued practical ministerial education and was ordained into the pastorate in 2002. Pastor Cooper continued his service as the Associate Minister until he was called to the pastorate of Piney Grove in August of 2009. Pastor Cooper also serves as the Youth President of the 4th Shiloh under the leadership of Moderator Fredrick Favors.
Pastor Cooper has been blessed to have served for over 28 years in the Ministry. Committed to God and the Ministry in which he was chosen, Pastor Cooper decided to be a life long student of the Gospel. Yearning for deeper understanding, Pastor Cooper has obtained a Master of Arts in Christian Studies from the Luther Rice College and Seminary in Lithonia, Ga. and a Masters of Theology from the Southern Bible College & Seminary in North Augusta, South Carolina and is currently completing a Masters of Divinity at the Luther Rice College and Seminary inLithonia, GA.
Pastor Cooper is married to the lovely Tammy Cooper. Pastor Cooper’s vision gave birth to a new ministry, I Can Do All Things Ministries. Pastor Cooper founded the ministry because he believes “by the power of the Holy Spirit and though Jesus Christ, one can obtain and reach the impossible.” Fueled by his passion to teach the masses that “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” Philippians 4:13, Pastor Cooper stays actively involved in local and surrounding communities throughout the state.
Spiritual, social and business progressions of the Christian community are some of Pastor Cooper’s sincere goals for the people of God. To ensure these goals are met, Pastor Cooper provides Biblical enrichment, spiritual guidance, motivational resources and economic empowerment. Through his ministry he is determined to help Christians overcome personal burdens and limitations while adopting a passion for personal and spiritual improvement.
