Joshua W.
Established in 2002. Morning Star Church began as a dream in the hearts of Josh and Cecil Wroten while they were still attending school at Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Fl. In August of 2002, they moved from Jacksonville back to their native Bay Area to start Morning Star. On October 9, 2002 the first official Bible study was held at the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Newark. Twenty-nine peopled attended. Over the next five months, Pastor Josh began developing a core group that would help officially launch the church. On March 23, 2003 the Grand Opening Serviced for Morning Star Church was held at Musick Elementary School in Newark. One hundred and one people attended. In an answer to prayer, God opened the door for our church to find a permanent home at 36120 Ruschin Drive in Newark, formerly known as Ruschin Elementary School. Our prayer is that God will continually open doors of opportunity for us to love, strengthen, and minister to our community.

Hi! My then-fiance and I first visited MSC in April or early May, 2003. I remember because the next time we visited, we were Mr. and Mrs.! I've watched us grow from a half dozen people meeting in a freezing school cafeteria, to our own set of rooms in the old Ruschin Elementary! I can't wait until we get to have our own larger, and cozier facility. God is so good to those who love Him! Come and see what you're missing: a sense of belonging, friendly people, a great worship band, easygoing childcare, a young adult group, a teen youth group, grade school age Sunday school, BBQs, joyous monthly first Sunday evening worship, and oh yeah - Jesus with skin on!

My husband and I have been attending here for the past 6 years now and really enjoy it. The atmosphere is welcoming and the people are genuine. We are both involved in ministry here and have made some real lasting friendships. The focus of this church is truly on relationships, and that is evident in the activities that are planned and the sermons Pastor Josh preaches (not that Jesus doesn't come first - He does!). The music is contemporary and easy to sing along with. The church has high goals and is not afraid of what God might hold in the future. I hope you'll come check it out.

My family has been coming to this church for 8 years now and we love it here. A great place to worship and fellowship with other believers. The pastor's message is very practical. The people here are real. Think of family. This church is such a blessing to us. :-)
