History
“For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice…” (Zachariah 4:10, KJV).
In 2000, Dr. Chino L. Walters became a member of Greater Morning Star Apostolic Ministries and served 12 faithful years under the leadership of Bishop Charles E. Johnson before being appointed to establish and pastor a new church plant in Waldorf, Maryland. After much prayer and fasting, Dr. Walters, his wife, Tamara, and their three small children established the Greater Morning Star Apostolic Church, Inc., located in Waldorf, Maryland, in April of 2013 and held its first service on Sunday, May 5, 2013.
In September 2015, the Lord inspired Dr. Walters to seek out land to purchase to build the future home of Greater Morning Star Apostolic Church. As a result, just before the snowstorm in late December of 2015, Dr. Walters, the Board of Trustees, and the Greater Morning Star church family acquired 15 Acres of land in one of the prime areas of Waldorf, Maryland.
Our Mission
Making an impact to change a generation
At Greater Morning Star Apostolic Church, our mission is very simple: to spread the love of Jesus Christ in the Greater Waldorf community and surrounding area by promoting a life-changing Gospel of redemption and salvation through holistic ministry. It is our desire to touch the hearts of the broken and to empower the community at large by serving as a place for change, growth, purpose, comfort, and refuge for all mankind.
Our Vision
In the community serving the community
Our vision is to be a centralized location that serves as a beacon of hope, protection, and service to the local community. We aim to provide a facility where multi-generations can grow together and discover a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. All the while, our focus is on the discipleship of new believers. As a community church, we are not an isolated group of churchgoers, but we are community activists that are committed to meeting the needs of our community.
What We Believe
According to the scriptures
1. We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible and authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe there is only one true God who manifested himself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and that Jesus is the visible manifestation of that one true God (1 Timothy 3:16).
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that he is fully God and man (Colossians 2:9), in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His atoning death on Calvary and in His bodily resurrection.
4. We believe that for the salvation of man, he must be born again (John 3:5-8) which includes genuine repentance (Acts 3:19; Mark 1:15), water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38; 4:12; 8:16; 10:48; Colossians 2:12), receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (Acts 2:4; 8:17; 19:5-6; 10:44-45; ).
5. We believe in the rapture of the church for the born again believers, and the personal return of Jesus Christ with His church.
