"I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."

         Hi! Welcome to Morning Star Christian Fellowship! We appreciate you taking the time to find out a little bit about our church.

         Morning Star began in 2006 in Corona, California, with about 50 people. These people came together with a common belief and a common desire. The belief? That Jesus Christ is the Son of God and a Savior to all who want to know him. The desire? To create a Christian community based on the biblical pattern laid out in the Book of Acts.

         We often say at Morning Star that we are a Purpose-Driven church. That means that we are committed to the five purposes that were at the heart of the New Testament church:

·       Worship. At Morning Star we worship God each Sunday through contemporary music and biblical teaching.

·       Fellowship. We believe that fellowship is more than gathering for coffee and cookies. In the early church, people were involved in each other’s lives. They helped and supported and cared for one another. That’s fellowship! And that’s what we live out at Morning Star.

·       Discipleship. The New Testament church was a teaching church. At Morning Star, we offer Bible Study, small group study, and Sunday School to help all of our people become more knowledgeable about the Bible and what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

·       Mission. To us, “mission” simply means “service.” At Morning Star, we are engaged in mission through programs like Knit for Kids which provides hand-made sweaters for needy children, food baskets for the poor, Operation Christmas Child which provides Christmas gifts for children who might not have a Christmas otherwise, and other such programs.

·       Evangelism. We believe it is important to share the most valuable thing we have – the good news about Jesus Christ! We want everyone to know the joy, the peace, the power, and the love of Jesus in their lives, just as we do.

We also say that we are a Passion-Driven church. By that we mean that we are passionate in our love for God and for other people. Because God loves people enough to send his Son to die for them, we love them too.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
