Vision
MorningStar Church Ministries is committed to declaring and demonstrating Kingdom Principals in the greater Rochester area- and around the world as the Lord opens opportunities.. We are also committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helping Christians to become equipped to fulfill their callings in all spheres of society.
What we Believe:
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
- We believe in the Godhead as eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.
- We believe in the sanctification and holiness of heart and the overcoming life as God’s design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ.
- We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, as on the day of Pentecost, and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit in charismatic gifts and ministries. We also
- believe it is essential for the development of godly fruit (the character of Christ) in the life of the believer.
- We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the Atonement. (Christ’s shed blood for us)
- We believe in Christ’s imminent, personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting Kingdom.
- We believe in eternal life for both Christians and non-Christians. For Christians to be united forever with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and for non -Christians to spend eternity apart from the Lord in a desolate place He has assigned to His enemies.
