Meet Bright Morning Star Church

Bright Morning Star Church is a welcoming faith community committed to spiritual growth, worship, and service. The church emphasizes the teachings of Jesus Christ and provides a supportive environment for believers and newcomers alike. Through regular worship services and community outreach, Bright Morning Star Church seeks to inspire hope and foster strong connections among its members. Individuals are encouraged to deepen their relationship with God and engage in meaningful fellowship.

Unfortunately, Bright Morning Star’s pastor, Reuben Gonzalez, fell ill this year and is unable to continue the tremendous work he has done. Now the church is poised for new leadership and is fully supported and funded through the nonprofit agency, Keep Bloomington Beautiful.
