“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all Sin.”
— 1 John 1:7
We exist as a church without walls, fellowshipping with each other and engaging heaven in a variety of locations and in diverse environments. Our pursuit is always to love God and His people. Loves is what makes ministry effective, and the greater the love the greater the impact.
Local/Remote Connect Groups
Our mission is to prepare new wineskins for the new wine of His presence for the Harvest. We do this by having intimate relationship with Jesus and helping others to know Him intimately (Koinonia). Connect Groups reach beyond ourselves to bring new life through discipling others.
The local and remote Connect Groups are in-person gatherings. The local connect groups are located in and around the Fort Mill, SC / Charlotte, NC area. The remote connect groups are in-person gatherings located in other parts of the United States.
Ministry Connect Groups
These Connect Groups are facilitated by the ministries of MorningStar Fellowship Church. They exist for Training in ministry or to strengthen and provide fellowship with a specific demographic within the church. They provide a safe environemnt for training, activating, and practicing our gifts.
The meetings are held mostly at the Fort Mill MorningStar Churh facility. The various groups meet weekly, biweekly or monthly at a set time and day.
Online Connect Groups
Connect to other like-minded people through Online Connect Groups wherever you are located geographically. We have groups all over the USA and the world, and we are adding members every week.
Online Connect Groups are groups that connect via the Internet. Individuals in their own homes connect using Skype or other platforms for video chat. You do that simply by using your phone or a computer. Connection is weekly or biweekly at a set time and day.
If you need assistance in finding a local, remote, or ministry/training connect group, please reach out to us. Please send us your name, location and phone number to get in touch with you.
If you are already part of a MorningStar Connect group, and now would like to lead or start a connect group, please reach out to us to be trained to become a Connect Group leader.
If you are interested in joining an online connect group, simply send your name, location (for the purpose of selecting a time zone), and a little bit about your connection to MorningStar

SHINE is a vital part of our family ministry that is building a sisterhood and alliance to strengthen the vision, gifts, and ministries of women in the church. We are a gathering of women who desire to hear the call of the Creator and know their purpose for this hour. We are women who want to know the why of what we’re doing and understand the times that we live in. We are women who are graced to transform the world around us. This is the time for women to SHINE!

MorningStar appreciates each of our viewers whether they are watching Sunday services, Rick’s Rants or Raves, or Justin’s Supernatural Theology. We offer the opportunity for you to connect to other like-minded people through Online Connect Groups wherever you are located geographically. We have groups all over the USA and the world, and we are adding members every week.
Online Connect Groups are groups that connect via the Internet. Individuals in their own homes connect using Skype or other platforms for video chat. You do that simply by using your phone or a computer. Connection is weekly or biweekly at a set time and day. Each group has a designated leader who attends monthly leadership meetings and receives input from oversight; however, these sessions involve participation of every member in the group.
The groups are not informal chats, although people often need an opportunity to catch up with each other at the beginning of the meeting. The groups are opportunities to pray together, process the Sunday service, share testimonies, and exercise spiritual gifts depending on how the Holy Spirit leads. Well over 100 people already link this way and have developed close caring relationships, even praying for and encouraging each other during the week. The groups are similar to the round tables the Fort Mill congregation experiences, but last much longer usually between 1½ – 2 hours. We could share many testimonies of answered prayer and the Holy Spirit moving in these meetings.
If you are interested in joining a group, simply send your name, location (for the purpose of selecting a time zone), and a little bit about your connection to MorningStar to: onlinecg@mstarm.org
