cooper Anderson
EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Music and the creative arts have been woven into my life from the very beginning. Growing up in a musical family, I learned to sing and harmonize alongside my parents and siblings, often serving together in our church’s music and creative ministries. My brother and I spent countless hours in our room, making more noise than our parents probably wanted, as we taught ourselves drums and guitar by playing along to our favorite albums. Today, that love for music continues! I still write, record, and perform with my siblings under the name “TheBandFoster,” and every time we play together, it warms my heart.
I’ve always had a deep passion for the church and how God uses it to bring people closer to Him. For me, music and creative media are more than just hobbies—they are powerful tools to impact lives for Jesus in ways that words alone cannot. Whether I’m playing an instrument, singing on stage, or working behind the camera or soundboard, I find joy in using these gifts to help others experience the love of Jesus. With a bachelor’s degree in Creative Arts: Media and a focus on film, I’m passionate about telling stories that connect with people and reveal Jesus in real-life situations. Whether it’s music, media, or creativity, I’m always excited to explore new ways to share the hope of Jesus.
My wife, Morgan, is my greatest blessing, and together we have two wonderful children, Rian and Isaac. We love spending time outdoors, exploring, hiking, and simply enjoying life as a family. They mean the world to me and are a constant source of joy. Loving my wife well and being fully present with my kids are my top priorities. I believe family is my first and most important ministry—God comes first, my spouse second, our children third, and everything else follows!
I love Jesus with all that I am, and I live to make him known! I strive to lead well and help others discover and grow their God-given talents so they can impact others in turn. Being part of the Morning Star family is a blessing, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn, lead, and grow in the church God has called us to!
