Coar III is a preacher, teacher, husband, father, military officer, and Millennial who has a deep appreciation for and commitment to ministry. He is a champion for both contemporary and traditional approaches, and strongly believes in Black institutional leadership. This was shown in his ministerial course “Pastoral Trauma in Pandemic” at the General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia in the Spring of 2022. He helped leaders see and accept the trauma of pandemic through examining the leadership of Moses and Paul. Rev. Coar believes Black people can become stronger by championing the collective, with an intergenerational appreciation coupled with empathic understanding, humility, and strong faith. He exemplifies this belief as the Minister of Christian Education for the Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia. After deployment to Iraq, he still faithfully serves our country as a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserves. He is the husband of Dr. Sherice J. Nelson, and the father of one amazing daughter, Jamiya, and a brilliant son, Carter. As a son of Georgia, he attended thee Fort Valley State University and Morehouse School of Religion earning a Bachelor of Arts in history (2007) and a Master of Divinity in Homiletics (2020). While at the Morehouse School of Religion, he was inducted into Theta Phi an international honors society, graduated Magna Cum Laude during pandemic, and was the Gardner C. Taylor Preaching Award Winner. Rev. Coar is currently a Doctorate of Ministry student at the George W. Truett Seminary, the intellectual home of Dr. Joel Gregory, at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.view less
