In 2001, Pastor Rosette graduated from Bellaire Senior High School and entered into the United States Army as an Automated Logistics Specialist. While in the Army he began taking classes in an effort to continue his education. He attended Central Texas College and majored in in Social Psychology at Park University from which he earned a bachelor’s degree. He is continuing his education efforts working toward the terminal degree (a doctorate). Throughout his military career he rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant and worked in many Company and Brigade assignments.
Pastor Rosette has been very privileged to travel while serving in the U.S. Army both stateside and overseas to include El Gorah Egypt, three tours to Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. He was stationed at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas and also at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Pastor Rosette completed his military service in December 2012 after 11 years of honorable service. Pastor Rosette is currently working as a federal employee at the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Pastor Rosette was reared in the church and at a young age began working in various ministries under the leadership of the late Bishop L.J. Woodard Sr. and Bishop Leroy Woodard Jr., Senior Pastor of The Christian Rescue Mission City Fellowship Church. He was a faithful member of the Usher Board, the Sunshine Kids, Young Adult, Adult, and Male Chorus, and the Drill Team. He also volunteered with the City Wide Club of Clubs, which focused on providing help to the homeless and less fortunate members of the Houston community.
Pastor Rosette was called into the ministry in 1999 at the age of 16.

Purposeful is defined as being full of significance, meaning, and purpose; and Life is defined as a specific phase of earthly existence.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Church of God in Christ Urban Initiative
“Building healthy individuals, families and communities for a successful future”
DEPARTMENTS
• Education
• Economic Development
• Crime Reduction
• Family Life
• Financial Literacy
—————————————— VISION & MISSION
The vision of COGIC Urban Initiatives is to build healthy individuals, families and communities for a successful future.
The Message Behind the Vision
COGIC Urban Initiatives is the vision of Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake birthed out of his deep concern about poor academic achievement, financial disenfranchisement, high unemployment, soaring crime levels, the desperate state of the black man and the breakdown of the family that plagues our cities, small and large, urban and rural.
COGIC Urban Initiatives will assist our 12,000 churches within the United States by making available to them programs and strategies that address:
Education (Access, Excellence and Equity)
Economic Development (Job Training and Job Creation)
Crime Prevention (Reduction, Prevention and Rehabilitation)
Family Life (Developing Healthy Men, Women and Children)
Financial Literacy (Earning, Saving, Investing, and Spending Wisely)
Attacking the problem from these interrelated perspectives simultaneously will maximize the likelihood of success.
COGIC Urban Initiatives will provide all churches, regardless of size or location, with encouragement, inspiration, information, consultation and programs to achieve real and measurable change.
The bishop’s goal is to have one program for each initiative in place at each church. That’s 60,000 programs.
MISSION
The Mission of COGIC Urban Initiatives is to empower the local church to implement programs that address Education, Economic Development, Crime, Family and Financial Literacy. Those programs will result in measurable improvement in the quality of life for individuals, families and communities served by the Church of God in Christ. We will do this by identifying and replicating best practices from our churches as well as external resources, and making them easily available to all churches utilizing technology and other resources.
—————————————– EDUCATION
The Mission of the Education Initiative:
Our mission is to identify and make available programs that focus on giving individuals equal to access to an excellent education. In the long term, we will witness visible transformation within families and communities as men, women and children as empowered with the ultimate prerequisite to success—a good education.
—————————————– ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Mission of the Economic Development Initiative:
Our mission is to identify and make available programs that result in new jobs being created, and provide job training. In the long term, we will witness visible transformation within families and communities as individuals are given the means and the tools to achieve a living wage.
—————————————– CRIME REDUCTION
The Mission of the Crime Reduction Initiative:
To identify and make available programs that reduce crime and lower recidivism rates for past offenders. In the long term, we will witness visible transformation within families and communities as individuals learn to successfully navigate positive, alternate routes to securing food, shelter, clothing, inclusion and acceptance.
—————————————– FAMILY LIFE
The Mission of the Family Life Initiative:
To identify and make available programs that focus on improving the quality of life within the nuclear family. In the long term, we will witness visible transformation within families and communities as men, women and children are given the tools to achieve a thriving, productive, wholesome, spiritual family environment.
—————————————– FINANCIAL LITERACY
The Mission of the Financial Literacy Initiative:
To identify and make available programs that result in enlightened individuals who Earn, Save, Invest and Spend Wisely. In the long term, we will witness visible transformation within families and communities as individuals learn to develop and execute sound long term financial plans focused on creating, growing and managing wealth.
—————————————–
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.
VISION STATEMENT
To give the student a thorough intellectual and spiritual knowledge of the Word of God, so that he/she may understand Bible doctrine and Bible truth, so that he/she maybe wise in appropriating that truth to their life.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Texas Western Jurisdiction (TWJ) C.H. Mason Bible Institute exists as a certificate and licensing element for adult education, primarily for those called to the Christian ministry in a leadership capacity. To provide advanced training and equipping in biblical and doctrinal studies, ministry skills and leadership skills so they may be prepared to do the “work of the ministry.”
