Dr. Ron Cottle
An Apostolic Legacy of Resources
LEGACY MATTERS
Legacy for me is a compilation of more than a half century of dedicated service to God and His people. It is the passing on of the teachings, the tools, and the treasures to those who will be Kingdom leaders for many years to come. I have labored in the Lord as a servant of the Lord and I sincerely believe that my legacy will continue for generations, should the Lord tarry.

THE MAN
Dr. Ron and Mrs. Joanne Cottle
Dr. Ron Cottle is world renowned as an outstanding teacher and educator in the Christian community. He received a diploma in Theology from Southeastern Bible Institute, Lakeland, Florida, a B.A. in English-Religion, Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, the M-Div. from Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, South Carolina, and the Ph. D. in Religion and the M.S.Ed. and Ed. D. in Higher Education from the University of Southern California. Dr. Cottle is from Columbus, Georgia where he and Joanne, his wife of sixty-plus years are currently living.
A Lifetime of Scholarship and Teaching
Dr. Ron Cottle is the founder of the Christian Life School of Theology, a world-wide network of distance learning Bible schools, founder of Beacon University and former president of the Assemblies of God Graduate School in Springfield, Missouri. He has published over fifty books and numerous articles. His teaching style has been called "scholarship on fire" by those who have attended his lectures. His unique style always contains the compassion of a shepherd, the urgency of a prophet and the wisdom of a statesman. His thoughts and counsel are straightforward, dynamic and powerful. Dr. Cottle's teachings will help today's spiritual leaders and other sincere "thinking Christians" to discover the mystery and the majesty of the Bible.
Conveying a 21st Century Legacy
In 2006, following nearly sixty years of apostolic teaching ministry to the body of Christ, Dr. Cottle began to focus on building his legacy. Every leader should spend the last twenty percent of his or her life working on their legacy! His dream is to bring the whole of his life curriculum together with "handles" for emerging Christian leaders to access. In 2017, Dr. Cottle reconnected with Thomas Hale, a spiritual son and apostolic multiplier. Together, they give their efforts to building and conveying Dr. Cottle's legacy to the world. He continues to study and write on a daily basis from his home office and recording studio in Columbus, Georgia.
DEDICATION AND COVENANT
With great joy and thankfulness I present this website to Dr. Ron Cottle, Joanne Cottle and the world! It has been my honor and privilege to work with them to see these visions and dreams in their hearts come into reality. Without doubt, their legacy will continue for generations after them because they live in me and Beth, their covenant sons and daughters, and thousands upon thousands of people around the world that their lives have touched.
They will live on in the following generations because I, by the grace of God, will make sure of it. I can do nothing less than this, because the legacy of Dr. Ron Cottle is my legacy.
