With
a doctorate in the economics of poor countries, Coty worked with
developing country governments in Africa and Asia for two decades
and served as Dean of the Center for Development Economics and as a
professor at Williams College in Massachusetts. During the 1990's
God called him out of economics into a full-time preaching and
teaching ministry. The Pinckneys served as missionaries in Cameroon
during 2001/02, where Coty taught at the Cameroon Baptist
Theological Seminary. Twenty-four years after his graduation from
Davidson College, Coty returned to the Charlotte area in 2002 to
plant a church associated with John Piper's Bethlehem Baptist
Church. Coty also partnered with David Voth of Steele Creek Church
to bring the Perspectives course back to Charlotte after a long
hiatus. He presently serves with Ken Lotze as coordinator of
Perspectives Charlotte. Coty and his wife Beth have six children,
and live in Harrisburg, NC. Coty has written
