Community Partners Spotlight-Scout Troop 604

Troop 604 develops character and leadership skills in young people through the Scouts BSA program here at the Moorpark Presbyterian Church. We have met the COVID challenge by conducting our meetings online. Now that outdoor events are allowed, we have resumed activities such as hiking and archery. We look forward to returning to our normal schedule of outings this Fall as things continue to improve.

We are proud that Troop 604’s Scouts have risen to the challenge and have continued to progress with many Eagle Projects having been completed. Some of these can be seen at the church with new landscaping by the cross and in the parking lot and a new and durable surface at the fire pit. As a result, we have had a large group of new Eagle Scouts with more on the way.

Thank you, Church, for providing these wonderful facilities to Troop 604 for over 2 decades and continuing to have a positive impact on our youth today!

RENEW-ing Our Youth in this Challenging Time

In the midst of everything that is happening in our world today, our youth are in great need of a place where they can find community, guidance and hope. RENEW, the student ministry of MPC, endeavors to be that place.

RENEW is for all students grades 6-12 and currently meets on Tuesday nights from 6:30-8PM. Led by a team of caring adult leaders, each Tuesday night gathering includes times of prayer, discussing God’s Word in small groups and lots of fun. At RENEW, we work hard to cultivate an environment where students feel the safety and the freedom to ask any question they have without fear of ridicule or rejection. As our youth are figuring out their identity and what it means to be a follower of Jesus, we want to make sure that they have a place that encourages and supports them. That place is RENEW. 

For the month of January, RENEW will be meeting virtually via ZOOM, and meeting information will be emailed out weekly. Though our preference is to have in-person RENEW on campus, the recent rise in COVID cases in our area and community have led us to make this decision out of an abundance of caution. We will continue to evaluate this in the coming weeks, and hope to have everyone back on campus as soon as it is safe to do so. For more information about RENEW and our return to on-campus gatherings, please join our parent email list by sending your email address to SeanM@MPCLife.org.
