What We Believe
What we believe about God, faith, and the Bible
Our Mission
Morning Star Full Gospel Assembly exists to proclaim the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, compel the lost to salvation, and disciple believers to reflect Christ in character and calling. Rooted in the Great Commission and led by the Holy Ghost, we are committed to being a Spirit-filled church that mirrors the life of
Christ through sound doctrine, authentic worship, radical love, and servant leadership.
As we walk in unity and holiness, we boldly declare that we are Empowered to Win Souls for Christ, preparing a people for God’s purpose and carrying out His redemptive plan both locally and globally.
Outreach
The method of accomplishing our missions is that each one reach one by touching lives through love and compassion making our faith in Christ visible. That is through our Street Outreach, Sick & Shut-in, Prison Fellowship (Project Angel Tree and Philemon), Prison Ministry (Rikers Island), Manhattanville and Morningside Nursing Homes, Promesia, Tremont 321 Halfway House, and Bronx Lebanon Detox (drug rehabilitation). We also have our Saved to Serve and Jireh ministries that distribute free food and clothing to our neighborhood residents in need.
For it is written in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”.
Our Senior Pastor: Bishop Rubin S. Thompson
Pastor Rubin S. Thompson, the youngest and only male of five children, accepted the call to preach when he was 13 years old and has over 35 years of experience in ministry in New York City
While only a teenager, Pastor Rubin was licensed as a Minister and was the founder and president of “Youth for Christ Ministries.” The purpose of this organization was to assist Pastors with their youth outreach programs by networking with other young ministers of the New York Metropolitan area and coordinating crusades and revivals designed to “reach the lost through Pentecost.” Soon after, Pastor Thompson became the radio announcer and preacher for the late Pastor J.B. Brown on his Saturday morning broadcast from the New Testament Baptist Church in New York City.
In over 35 years of ministry service, Pastor Thompson has worn many hats and fulfilled various leadership roles. His earliest memories of “real” ministry was watching his mother, the late Evangelist Virginia D. Thompson, make the necessary behind the scenes sacrifices to ensure the effectiveness of the Sunday morning ministry. He takes as much pride in his days of cleaning church bathrooms alongside his mother on Saturday mornings as he does in preaching and teaching the Gospel to a Sunday morning crowd. After faithfully serving his leaders, Bishop Charles H. Harris, Sr. (Establishmentarian) and Mother Doris E. Harris (Pastor-Emeritus) for sixteen years, Pastor Thompson was installed as the Pastor of the Morning Star Full Gospel Assembly on July 20, 2014 and was appointed to Senior Pastor, just one year later.
