Serving together for the glory of the Lord.

Pastor Daniel Cox brings over twenty-five years of ministry experience, a deep love for the gospel, and a passion for mentoring the next generation. In 2002 he earned his degree in Pastoral Theology from Crown College, completed his Master of Divinity from Crown College in 2022, and is currently pursuing a doctorate in ministry from Luther Rice Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia.

Throughout his ministry, Pastor Cox has faithfully served in local church ministries, pastoring congregations in both Tennessee and Florida. In 2013 he and his wife, Marie, established a church and Christian school in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. His ministry has taken him around the world, where he has preached and sung the gospel of Jesus Christ to diverse audiences and cultures.

Daniel is also an accomplished musician, having recorded four solo albums, and a gifted writer, contributing extensively to Christian periodicals. He is passionate about teaching and mentoring college-age adults, helping them grow in their faith and navigate life with biblical wisdom.

In his free time, Daniel enjoys traveling, coffee dates with Marie, spending time with his family, golfing, fishing, and relaxing on the beautiful shores of Englewood.

In 2025 Daniel joined Calvary Baptist Church, bringing with him a heart for service, a commitment to biblical preaching and teaching, and a desire to lead the church in faithful discipleship and gospel-centered outreach.

Ethan Green is from Knoxville, Tennessee. Raised in a Christian home as a pastor's son, Ethan trusted Christ as his Savior at the age of five during children's church. At ten years old, while attending Indian Creek Baptist Camp, he surrendered his life to the Lord and answered God's call to preach.

After graduating from high school, Ethan attended The Crown College in Powell, Tennessee, where he earned a degree in Youth Ministry in May 2019. Before joining Calvary Baptist Church as Assistant Pastor in January 2021, he served on staff at a church in Florida for several years.

Ethan married his wife, Mitzi, in November 2021. She has been a great blessing and a faithful partner in ministry. The Lord has also blessed their home with a son, Maverick, who was born in May 2023.

As the Student Ministries Pastor, Ethan has a burden for the next generation and counts it a joy to serve and invest in young people through the local church. His desire is to encourage children and teenagers to live for Christ and grow strong in their faith.

In his spare time, Ethan enjoys spending time with his family, watching sports, and cheering on the Tennessee Volunteers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Marie Cox is a passionate educator and licensed marriage and family therapist with a heart for encouraging others through faith, family, and connection. She earned her B.S. in Secondary Education from Crown College in 2003 and later pursued her calling in counseling, completing a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Asbury Theological Seminary in 2019.

While faithfully serving here at Calvary, Marie also speaks regularly at marriage and women's conferences, sharing insight and encouragement drawn from both her professional training and her personal journey. She and her husband are proud parents of four children — Phebe, Ethan, Selah, and Moriah — who are of high school and college age.

Born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Marie still treasures quiet days at the beach, good coffee, meaningful travel, and time spent with her family. Whether at home or on the road, her mission remains the same: to nurture healthy relationships and bring hope to others through the comfort of God.
