Personal Information

Peter Mason is a native of Connecticut. He was raised by encouraging parents who were active in the local church. As a young person, the Spirit of God drew Peter to faith in Christ as he listened to a presentation of theGospel during a morning worship service. His home church is Wintonbury Baptist Church in Bloomfield, Connecticut. It has been his privilege to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (II Peter 3:18).

Peter's wife, Rhonda, is a "pastor's kid". She was born in Tennessee and grew up in South Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Peter and Rhonda met when her dad was pastoring Calvary Church in Connecticut where Peter's family was attending at the time. She graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She is a nurse at Shaker High School in Colonie, New York. They have two grown children. Peter enjoys playing trumpet, carpentry, bicycling, tennis, skiing, and golfing.

Peter has a special interest in men's ministries speaking at men's conferences. He has written a book for men's Bible studies called Mentoring Men Makes a Difference (CB MissionNortheast, 1999). In conjunction with his teaching, he has also published an article entitled "Cloning: The Future is Now" in the May 1997 edition of Touchstone magazine delivered at the International Bioethics Conference (July, 2000).
