McCoy became an ordained Baptist minister and in 1817 he was appointed to be a missionary to the Native Americans of Indiana and Illinois. He started his first Indian school in 1818 in the area of Western Indiana that is now part of Parke County. McCoy moved to Fort Wayne and opened a new school in May of 1820. He then helped establish the Carey Mission near Niles, Michigan in 1822.

For the next decade, he worked for the government selecting and surveying locations to establish and maintain missions and schools for the Native peoples who had to relocate due to the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
