C.H. MASON BIBLE INSTITUTE
"Is the Abundant Living message as presented to many Christians and the world today a reality, or a trick of Satan to confuse and cause some to err? Do Christians who do not enjoy Abundant Living somehow suffer from a lack of faith and commitment to obeying God's word? J. O. Lawson in his book, Is 'Abundant Living' for Every Christian?, examines these questions to provide clearer answers that are logically consistent, faith based, and Biblically supported. This book should prove to be quite informative, provocative, and spiritually stimulating for all who are seeking a clearer understanding of God's truths."
Books by Pastor/Physicist Bishop J.O. Lawson

Pastor J.O. Lawson offers this unique Bible Study to encourage believers to apply the same biblical principles that worked for the ancient heroes of the faith. More than ever, the church needs the basics to strenghen our walk of faith in these modern times. Believers need not 'muddle through somehow'. We can Strive, Survive, and Thrive while fighting the 'good fight of faith.' "

HISTORY OF THE C.H. MASON BIBLE INSTITUTE

    The core concern of the Founding Father of the Church of God In Christ, the late Bishop Charles Harrison Mason, was that those drawn to the confession of faith that he espoused ; would become fully instructed in that faith and go on to lead lives as productive and creative Christians.

    This basic concern was deeply rooted in the teaching of Jesus who taught that those whose lives have been touched, converted and transformed by His Life would go on to change others lives and the humankind. Bishop Mason's theology was biblical theology, which was developed out of years of personally searching the Bible and seeking the will of God for his life. History verifies that his long search ended in Los Angeles, California in 1907. It was the year that he received the Third Work of Grace, the Holy Ghost and spoke in Tongues as the Spirit gave utterance.

    The Founding Father of the Church of God in Christ was not only a student of the bible, he was also a student of secular education.  Bishop Mason's academic pursuits lead him to Arkansas Baptist College, from which he departed and founded a new educational venture at Lexington, Mississippi: Saints Industrial Academy, Saints Junior College.

    In 1970, another giant step was taken to further enhance the education endeavor, the Charles Harrison Mason Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia.  The (TWJ) C.H. Mason Bible Institute was established in 1997 to begin training for the ministers who were in the process of obtaining their Elders/Evangelist Ordination Certificate.  Recently, there has been an addition to the C.H. Mason Institute, the Missionary Licensing Division.  This division functions as the training element for the licensing of Missionary/Evangelist.
