“It is an incredible honor to be given the opportunity to serve as a faculty member at Concordia Seminary. Working side-by-side with the same men who helped form me for ministry is both exciting and humbling,” commented Cook. “I pray that my service at the Seminary will help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by preparing a new generation of pastors for service in His Church.”
