To Our Miracle Central Online Family,

Pastor Gilbert L., Sr. & Lady Mary Jo Clay want to express our deepest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support. This online extension of our ministry was born out of a crisis, a dire need to continue spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ when humanity sought encouragement, healing, and answers.

You, God's precious people, led us to embrace a new way of ministering. We are abundantly grateful for your role in our journey. The growth of our online and social media presence has elevated our ministry to a global platform. Your views, comments, likes, shares, and financial support have been constant sources of motivation to expand and enhance Miracle Central Church.

In St. Mark 16:15, Jesus instructed His disciples to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. As His disciples, our mission remains unchanged, and technology has enabled us to reach places we could never reach physically. Thank you for making the past four years, out of our 28 years in ministry, an exciting and revolutionary journey. It has been full of challenges and blessings.

Please continue to 'Like, Comment, Share, and Follow' to show your ongoing support. We are continually praying for you and your families. May the God of Peace abundantly bless each of you.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Pastor Gilbert L., Sr. & Lady Mary Jo Clay

"Bishop Charles Harrison Mason was the founder and first senior bishop of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC), presently the largest African-American Pentecostal church in the United States.

Born to former slaves Jerry and Eliza Mason in Shelby County, Tenn., on Sept. 8, 1864, Mason worked with his family as a sharecropper and did not receive a formal education as a child. But at an early age, he was influenced by his parents’ religion.

Mason joined the African-American Missionary Baptist Church when he was an adolescent and later received his license to preach from the Mount Gale Missionary Baptist Church in Preston, Ark. In November 1893, Mason enrolled at the Arkansas Baptist College, but withdrew after three months to transfer to the Minister’s Institute at the College; he graduated from the Institute in 1895.

In 1895, Mason met Charles Price Jones, a popular Baptist preacher from Mississippi. Mason and Jones soon began preaching the doctrine of holiness and sanctification in the local Baptist churches, which led to their expulsion from the Baptist Convention.

Mason and Jones decided to form a new fellowship of churches. Mason suggested the name Church of God in Christ, after what he described as a vision in Little Rock, Ark., to distinguish the church from a number of “Church of God” groups forming at that time.

Due to disagreements in the new Pentecostal teachings, the two men split their group in 1907. Mason won the legal rights to the Church of God in Christ name and charter, and established his work in Memphis.

After moving the COGIC headquarters to Memphis, Mason established additional departments and auxiliaries, created dioceses, and appointed overseers throughout the country.

In 1945, Mason dedicated Mason Temple in Memphis as the church’s national meeting site and the international headquarters of the Church of God in Christ.

At the time of Mason’s death on Nov. 17, 1961, COGIC had a membership of more than 400,000 and more than 4,000 churches in United States as well as congregations in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

Today, it has an estimated 6.5 million members. The church can be found in every state in the United States and in more than 60 countries around the world.

Ida Gray Nelson Rollins was born in Clarksville, Tennessee, on March 4, 1867. As a young teenager, she became an orphan after her mother's death and was later raised by her aunt. Rollins graduated from Gaines Public High School at 20 years old. However, while in high school, she began working as a seamstress and dressmaker in the dental office of Jonathan Taft. Taft later became the dean of the University of Michigan's dental college and advocated for women's admission into the dental program. Jonathan Taft's mentorship made way for Rollins to take the entrance exam, graduating as 1 of 3 women in the program, and becoming the first African American woman to earn a doctorate of dental surgery in the United States. Rollins later opened her own practice in Ohio; but got married and relocated to Chicago, and she continued practicing there.
She was a woman of many accomplishments, and her legacy continues to be celebrated annually at the University of Michigan with their diversity award through the school of denistry.
