Rev. Cook has held a variety of pastoral positions spanning fifteen years. He served as Assistant Campus Minister and Director of Student Life at Regent University in Virginia Beach for seven years and subsequently as an associate pastor at three different churches for ten years. He was employed as a federal contractor while his five children were growing up, providing systems engineering support to various federal agencies including the Intelligence community, Department of Homeland Security, and the Transportation Security Administration. During the five years he was at DHS, Rev. Cook provided systems engineering and project management support to the Director and Science Adviser at the Science and Technology Directorate’s Explosives Division, and to the Transportation Security Administration, pursuant to evaluating a variety of airport screening systems at the TSA Systems Integration Facility.

During the summer of 2012, he sensed God calling him back into full-time ministry with an emphasis on activating and mobilizing clergy and their congregations in efforts to secure the “Blessings of Liberty” to this and future generations of Americans. He founded the Black Robe Regiment of Virginia in July 2012 as part of a growing national movement of clergy at the vanguard of efforts to restore America’s decidedly Christian heritage, and the Church’s vital leadership and influence at every level of government.

Rev. Cook and his wife Judy live in Northern Virginia and recently celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. They have four grown children, a teenager still at home, and four grandchildren who live nearby.
