Our Pastors
Transitional Pastor Morgan Murray
morgan@wvpc.org
Morgan Murray was born in California’s Central Valley and was raised in the charismatic church tradition. His faith was intellectually challenged and strengthened as a student at U.C. Berkeley, where he attended Berkeley First Presbyterian Church. After graduation, he joined an inner-city ministry in Hollywood, where he discovered his passion to help people discover their unique belovedness and experience the real, felt presence of God in their lives right where they are.
Following Berkeley, he pursued graduate studies at Fuller Seminary, completing an M.Div. degree and becoming ordained in the Presbyterian Church USA. He later received his D.Min. from Fuller Seminary and now is a minister of the Word and Sacrament in the ECO denomination. He has served as pastor and head of staff in churches in Arizona, California's Orange, and Contra Costa counties.
Pastor Morgan joined West Valley Presbyterian Church as Transitional Pastor in November 2018 and is working with the WVPC congregation as we discover our next direction and service within the Cupertino area.
