Here you find Parse documentation. Here is Format. Combined together gives:

var dateAsString = '...';
moment.utc(dateAsString).format('h:mmA');

EDIT
Version considering Matt Johnson's hint:

var dateAsString = '...';
moment(dateAsString).format('h:mmA');

Thanks for your answer. The formatting looks good but I'm getting unexpected results. For example I expected the output time in your example be 3:00pm and not 11:00pm. – Ben Pearce Jan 20 '14 at 23:50

3pm is in your local time which is 11pm in Greenwich time. I think `.local()` prior to format will help. More info: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/local/ – SOReader Jan 21 '14 at 00:02

Just do `moment(dateAsString)`. There's no need to parse as utc if you're just going to convert back to local again. – Matt Johnson-Pint Jan 22 '14 at 03:57
@MattJohnson Thanks Matt, you should post it as an alternative answer while it answers better the question, imho. – SOReader Jan 22 '14 at 09:21
