Morningstar Christian Chapel

I love the Sunday service. The pastor teaches from the bible and relates it to current day living.
I usually do not care for the music. It’s supposed to be modern, with a band playing. But the songs are very simplistic with no clear tempo or melody. In saying this though, I find that many churches have gone with this type of music, using phrases that are so repetitive or are written in a way that nobody would naturally speak. It’s like nobody really took the time to create a meaningful song with spirited music that causes people to ‘want’ to sing.
I have always had a strong faith, but have just recently had a strong desire to return to regular church services, etc. I really like this church, but I find myself thinking that I’ll come later the next time, so I miss the music portion. =-?

Great pastor and bible teacher!
Pastor Jack Abeleen.

Pastor Jack offers a fresh of breath air*
His pastoring/​teaching methods are clear and precise. My family is very happy there
at Morningstar. Very tight knit family
feeling here with lots of activities and gatherings. I always leave a service feeling like a learned something useful and feel fulfilled spiritually by each message. I never feel pressured here like other churches that are pushy and constantly ask for cash, this place is very relaxed and makes you feel like home. I thank God for leading my family here

Sundays 8, 9:45, 11:30, 6 pm & Wednesdays 7 pm. Here for Wednesday night service. Sunday service is the best.

As a visitor for less than a year, Morningstar was very welcoming to me. I’ve heard Pastor Jack Abeelen’s radio program ‘Growing Through Grace’ on K-​Wave 107.9fm & K-​wave doesn’t just randomly pick anyone so I prayed about it and went. As I initially attended I couldn’t help but realize how amazing the worship was. Both old & new worship songs had most everyone praising The Lord.
Aside from the worship, pastor and teacher Jack is definitely gifted with knowledge of the word. I know this not just by hearing him but also by reading his book titled, «The Jesus Chronicles», a chronological study through the Gospels (available in bookstore). A book I’d recommend to anyone who wants to get in depth with the Gospels. Pastor Jack definitely has character with a bit shown in his book & while being on the pulpit of coarse.
As for the church itself, it seems to lack a bit of ethnic diversity. There also seems to be a bit of a generation gap as there are plenty of middle-​aged adults & seniors but fewer younger adults. There’s room for improvement with this and also teaching more on the conviction & application of denying oneself and seriously picking up your cross… we are all sinners after all! We are not to be conformed to this world. (Romans 12:2)
Morningstar encourages & offers many ways to get involved through fellowship, services, intercessory prayer, outreaches, classes, special events and short term missions work. I especially enjoyed the men’s study fellowship. It’s a great way to meet new people and grow together spiritually. As I mentioned earlier, I definitely felt welcomed here at the same time drawing closer to Christ. May God continue to bless this ministry!

Pastor Jack is the best been going for years

It’s a great church. If you want to hear what the Bible says, and meet friendly, down-​to-​earth, real people and
pastors, then this is the church for you.

I started to go to this church in December 2011. The congregation and the pastors are so friendly, that the first day my fiancé and I walked in the church, we could feel that love overflow so much, it made us want to cry. They are so incredibly humble its overwhelming. They teach the Word of God accurately and correctly. It is a true church of God. They teach fire and brimstone just like any church but they do it by convicting people’s hearts not condeming people’s hearts. They have a compassion so strong for Jesus and by hanging around them you get to learn God’s character: wrathful yet abounding in extraordinary mercy, forgiving people’s sins to the third and fourth generation. This is the best church I’ve ever been to and in my opinion is as good as it gets!
