Making disciples for Jesus Christ...together.


Youth Minister

Reverend Darnell Robinson, Sr. has been the youth minister of Morning Star for nearly two years. Since his appointment by Pastor C.L. Taylor, he has made positive impacts in the lives of numerous youth involved in the church.

As of 2007, Morning Star youth have expanded to over 100 in size. Although, some have graduated and moved on to college, many remain and continue to grow spiritually in the name of the Lord. Reverend Robinson has made a commitment to help continue this growth.

Since his appointment, the youth have been able to participate in an Annual Youth Lock In, Church Easter Egg Hunt, and for the first time the youth were able to attend camp during the 2007 year. The youth continue to go on spiritually enlightening field trips and involve themselves in the community of Dalworth and volunteer for non-profit organizations in the Arlington and Grand Prairie areas.

Reverend Robinson is joined by several youth ministry volunteers. He currently teaches the pre-teenagers during Youth Church on Sundays during 10:30 service and the teenagers on Wednesday Night during 7:00 bible study.

Reverend Darnell Robinson is a native of Lake Providence, Louisiana and has been married to Sister Jennifer Robinson for seven and a half years. They have two beautiful children that also attend Morning Star and are actively involved in the Youth Ministry.
