MorningStar began in late 1986 as the dream of Rodney Schrank and Ruth Lewis. Both Rod and Ruth had worked in the music department at Concordia Publishing House for a number of years, which gave them the publishing expertise needed to establish a new company. From the beginning, MorningStar has functioned as a non-denominational publishing house focusing on music used in churches whose worship focuses mainly within the liturgical tradition.
