GATEKEEPERS NEEDED

The Gatekeeper’s ministry provides a vital service to those who choose to worship at Morning Star Baptist Church.  We represent to the public that we are “The church with the people at heart.”  We provide safe access to our facilities and help ensure our parking areas are secure.  We keep a watchful eye out for potential safety hazards and threats to the security of our members and guests.

Morning Star Baptist Church is growing.  Special services and events are a constant as we become more involved in the community.  Unfortunately, the ministry is not keeping pace with that growth.  The vision of the ministry was to have at least 36 men to volunteer on a rotating schedule. 

More volunteers are needed.  We can work around your schedule.  All it takes is for you to decide I will help when available.  Sunday mornings is not the only day you have an opportunity to be a part of this ministry.

A Gatekeeper is someone who cares about the safety and security of God’s people.  Enjoys being helpful and friendly.  The Gatekeeper is like the mailman willing to endure the elements for the church.

We have an awesome team.  They are constantly thinking about how to better serve you.  This group of young men is truly dedicated to serving and are to be applauded.

Your help is needed in making our goal a reality.  With your commitment you can help take the strain off the few men who have already chosen to make Morning Star a better place to worship.  We ask that you come join us in making a difference.

Service Is Our Mission – Helping Others Is Our Goal – Assisting When Needed – Responding When Necessary – Providing Support To Our Church

Let Today - Be The Day - You Become Sharp

WE ARE THE GATEKEEPERS AND WE APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

AV Switcher.JPG

The Media Ministry is a service ministry that possesses the unique capability of connecting people to the gospel beyond the walls of the church - taking our worship to all nations as is the charge in the Great Commission. We use state of the art audio and video technology which is as easy as using a smartphone. Our goal is to enhance, refine and deliver our worship presentation to those in attendance, sick, shut-in, people at work, people traveling and people who may be experiencing worship for the first time.

The people of this ministry operate and maintain our audio systems and all other equipment associated with the production. We are regular folks who love taking pictures, creating graphics and mixing music. We enjoy serving the Lord by being the link between our Morning Star worship and the rest of the world. If you are into electronics or the arts, this would be a natural fit for you.

The vision and purpose of our small group ministries is the same as the overarching vision of the church, "To make disciples by loving God, loving others, and serving the world."  This is a reflection of Luke 10:27 which declares, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and all your mind and your neighbor as yourself"!
