About Our Senior Pastor

Ralph Rittenhouse was born in Miami, Florida. His mother was a school teacher and his father, a pastor. Ralph graduated from Florida State University with a major in church music. He spent 14 years on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ with five years in the High School Ministry in Atlanta, Georgia, and six years at Arrowhead Springs in San Bernardino, California. There he served on the National Leadership Team, heading up the music and drama ministries. The last three years were spent on a special assignment developing an evangelism/discipleship model for local churches. During this time Ralph finished graduate work at Grace Graduate School of Theology, where he received a Master's in Biblical Studies.

Ralph has been the pastor of Camarillo Community Church in Camarillo, California since 1983. When Ralph and his family arrived in Camarillo, there were approximately 100 people meeting in a rented facility. Since then, the church has completed its second building project, which is a 1,000 seat auditorium. The church has also planted two daughter churches within the last four years.

Jackie, Ralph’s wife, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Ralph and Jackie have two children and six grandchildren.
