Montez Lamont Cox was born on January 26, 1981, in Louisville, KY.   Montez was raised in a Christian family and taught about God at home and at church.  Although Apostle Montez was raised to love God there was another side to the story that he experienced with his peers.  He grew up feeling like he was surrounded by darkness due to the destruction in the world that he was able to see and partake of so early in life. Apostle Montez quickly began to engage in the same darkness that he was once surrounded with, as a teenager and even as a young adult. 

​

However, the call on his life was much stronger than the fall in his life. After the fall, Apostle Montez turned his life over to Christ and was saved in 2007.  As God began to prick the heart of Apostle Montez, he accepted his call to preach by God at the age of 28, in 2008 under the leadership of Pastor Charles Howard, now Bishop Apostle, at Christian Kingdom International Ministries.

​

Apostle Montez was then installed as Senior Pastor of Christian Kingdom International Ministries of Louisville in 2010. After 12 years of serving as Senior Pastor at Christian Kingdom, Apostle Montez was led to plant True Worshippers Louisville and faithfully lead as God has called him to. He faithfully serves as the Apostle with his beautiful wife Christy, by his side, along with his son Montez, Jr., and daughter Zion.  

​

​God called Apostle Montez out of the darkness of the streets into his marvelous light, and now instead of dedicating his life to providing people with a substance that would only leave them empty and wanting more, Apostle Montez dedicates his life to preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He supplies his congregation and all that comes his way with the Powerful and Revelatory word of the Lord, which saves, empowers, encourages, convicts, and restores them unto our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

​

Like Apostle Paul, Montez is determined to forget the past, look toward the future, and press forward, seeking the prize that our Lord and Savior have already won for him and us!
