The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,  until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.   Ephesians 4:11-13 (NRSV)

  • Meredith brough   (Chancel choir director)

    Meredith filled in as our interim choir director years ago, but we soon realized that the "interim" part of her title needed to go!  She loves to bring her musical passion and gifts to the choir and beyond.  


    She is such a blessing to us as she continues to re-energize the choir with her creativity, passion, and love for the Lord. 


    You might also see her at Righetti High School where she works at the Attendance Office.

    Josh has been working as Worship Technical Support staff since July 1, 2018, but if you've been at OPC for some time, you'll know that he has been a huge source of help and service even during his high school years.  


    It didn't take long for Josh to get plugged in with playing keyboard for youth on Wednesdays and the congregation on Sundays.  Josh loves music, the church, tech stuff, and running the sound system.  He helps with our Live Stream capabilities as well.


    Josh graduated from Cal Poly SLO in June 2023 with a degree in computer science, and is now working full-time as a software engineer in addition to his position at OPC. Josh enjoys using sound equipment to promote an atmosphere of worship by making sure the musicians are fully equipped to lead the congregation in praise, and he loves to play on the worship team every opportunity he gets.
