Senior Pastor Doug Posey has felt a unique calling to the people of the Conejo Valley since beginning his pastoral ministry 30 years ago. The Posey family roots run deep in this valley…they call this home.

After 14 years as the Teaching and Adult Discipleship Pastor at Calvary Community Church in Westlake Village, in 2004 God revealed that it was time to lead a new work in this area. God’s prompting was evident, the vision was clear, doors began to open, and Living Oaks Community Church was born.

This church has been, and continues to be, a unique assembly of people whose sole desire is to impact this community for God.  With the support and encouragement of the Missionary Church denomination, Living Oaks opened its doors in June 2004, and we held our first services in the Borchard Community Center gym in Newbury Park. In February 2006, we were blessed to move into our own facility at 1033 Business Center Circle in Newbury Park. 

Critical to our launch and continued growth is the belief and dedication of hundreds of people who embrace God’s mission for Living Oaks in this valley.  With that focused sense of purpose, we are constantly adding to a series of “historic firsts” and establishing new traditions to pass down to the generations that follow.
