Preserving Our Heritage for the Future

The Dr. Mattie McGlothen Library Museum is a spiritual sanctuary of historic artifacts, revered with adoration by scholars and the public. The historic value of the library museum lie in the works of Dr. McGlothen, the contributions to the community made by the events that have transpired here and it's innumerable monetary value vested in the priceless pieces of its unrivaled collection in their sentiment.

This website is an extension of the Dr. Mattie McGlothen Library Museum located in the McGlothen Temple Church of God in Christ Complex; Richmond, California. Since we are "partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light" (Colossians 1:12), it is important that we record history of this Holy Woman in the ministry. The establishing of the Dr. Mattie McGlothen Library/Museum and the writing of Dr. Mattie McGlothen: A Virtuous Woman was a beginning of the chronicles of this great woman. Through this website, the chronicle will continue and make the visions of Mother McGlothen and resources on the Church of God in Christ more available.

Since we are "partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light" (Colossians 1:12), it is important that we record history of this Holy Woman in the ministry.

  • The collection includes 25,750 digitized pages of organizational records, publications, and funeral programs.
  • Many photographs of COGIC founder Bishop C.H. Mason and a wealth of materials on Dr. Mattie McGlothen
  • Digitized information to research the history of the Church of God in Christ.

We value our memories and feel that significant events and teachings should be noted, remembered, preserved and made available for others. We owe so much too so many in the development of the Dr. Mattie McGlothen Library Museum.
