So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another.  Romans 12:5 KJV

Morning Star’s Worship & Arts Department is committed to establishing a worship culture that is conducive for the spirit of the Lord to inhabit and commune with his bride, the church.   Through singing, instrumentation, dance and interpretation we create a perpetual atmosphere of prayer, praise and worship; fostering and cultivating the believer’s relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.   Ministry participants holistically serve God and His people, which they believe is their reasonable act of service.  You are invited to join these ministries  in giving God perfected praise and glory in the spirit of excellence. 

VISION STATEMENT

To be a Worship and Arts ministry that responds to God’s worship invitation in spirit and in truth; while helping facilitate an experience committed to the mission of Jesus Christ resulting in transformed lives, effective disciples, empowered communities and authentic worship. 

MISSION STATEMENT

To set the atmosphere for a move of God, by rendering praise and worship through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, dancing, miming, acting, prayer and intercession, interpretation for the deaf, video, audio, lighting and music; in ways that facilitate the manifested presence of God in every corporate gathering of the saints at Morning Star Baptist Church.
