Building Strong Foundations through Ministry in a Church that Feels Like Family

We all long to belong, to be known, and to live with purpose.
At MorningStar Church in Tampa, ministry is where that happens—where every generation can grow in faith, find their place, and help carry one another forward.

ABIDE

ONE HOUR.  ONE FOCUS.  HIS PRESENCE  

ABIDE an unplugged, living room–style night of worship and prayer.  To turn our full attention to God Himself — to adore, honor, and love the Father simply because He is worthy.
Not to ask.  Not to process.
Not to receive from Him first — but to give Him our affection and adoration.
No script, no performance.  Just hearts abiding in the presence of God and letting the Holy Spirit move freely.  Not to fill the hour, but to give it back to Him.

Join us on the 1st Monday of every month at 7PM.

third watch

We are called to be a House of Prayer

Third Watch is a one-hour prayer gathering where we put Jesus first — before comfort, before the day begins.  In the quiet hours, we come together simply to pray, offering our attention, trust, and obedience to our holy and loving Father.

There is no teaching and no agenda beyond prayer.  We come to listen, to intercede, and to agree with heaven.  We pray first because Jesus is worthy, not because it’s easy.  Faithful prayer is our culture, not our calendar.

Join us on zoom every Wednesday at 4AM
