Worship Services -

In addition to worshipping our Lord with our lives, we join together on Sundays to worship as a community.

Services are held each Sunday in the Fellowship Hall at 8:15 AM and 10:45 AM. Sunday school classes for all ages (including three adult classes) are held in-between the Sunday morning services at 9:35 AM.

Summer worship is every Sunday at 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM

There are three services on Easter Sunday and three on Christmas Eve.

Special services are held throughout the year.

Praise Teams -

Moorpark Presbyterian Church enjoys praising the Lord in worship, and we are led in praise each Sunday by one of our two praise team leaders, Mark Bailey and Michael Hughes. The praise bands rehearse each week on Thursday at 7:00 in preparation for Sunday morning worship. If you are interested using your musical gifts through participation in one of the praise teams, please contact our worship director, Kristin Giffin. The youth band leads us in praise on the fifth Sunday of five-Sunday months.


Childrens Choir -

The little ones raise songs in praise, singing in worship services several times during the year.

Please contact Kristin by email or through the Church Office if your child is interested in joining the Children's choir.


Special Music -

Moorpark Presbyterian Church is home to a wealth of musical talent.

Members of our congregation as well as guest musicians share their gifts, helping to enhance the worship experience for all those attending Moorpark Presbyterian.


Worship Ministry Team -

Chair – Michael Hughes; Co-Chair – Shane Judd

The Worship Ministry Team (Commission) works with the Pastor and Worship Director to design our worship services and special programs to bring glory to God, draw people to Christ, and help them to grow to maturity in Him.

Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm in the Worship Director's office (downstairs in the Sanctuary building.)
