John Cox

Senior Pastor John Cox became the founding Senior Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel in 2010. John grew up in Northridge, California under the ministry of John MacArthur at Grace Community Church. In 1998 he graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a degree in Journalism and Advertising. He moved to Southern California to continue working in the entertainment industry and marketing. In 2002 John went to the Amazon in Ecuador with Steve Saint and spent two weeks with the Waodani tribe. It was here that John stayed with the men who killed Steve’s father Nate Saint and four other men, including Jim Elliot. It was here the Lord began to confirm the call of ministry on John’s life. With the encouragement of Dr. John MacArthur, he entered the Master’s Seminary to receive his MDiv, in order to grow in his understanding of theology, exegetical study, and expository preaching. John has spent the last eight years in pastoral ministry and passionate about preaching the Word of God for the glory of God

John met his wife Daisy when she waited on him in a restaurant in Pasadena, California. They have been married since 2003 and have two precious girls, Jane and Brooke.
