A history of CamCC
Camarillo Community Church began in 1961 as a small home prayer meeting of 16 people, originally named Camarillo Heights Baptist Church. After a 1970 wildfire destroyed its property and years of meeting in temporary spaces, the church settled on Las Posas Road, where volunteers built its first permanent building in the mid-1980s and a larger Worship Center in 2002. Under Pastor Ralph Rittenhouse's 32-year tenure (1983–2015), the church grew from under 100 to nearly 800 members and dropped "Heights" from its name to reflect a broader, welcoming identity.
Current leaders include Executive Pastor Kenny Kibble, Worship Pastor Kelley Reid, Associate Pastor Jacob Salas, and Pastor Brandon Di Puma. The church holds two Sunday services, runs active youth and outreach ministries, and recently renovated its campus to be more welcoming. Serving a community of about 71,000, CamCC is now focused on reaching young families and continuing its legacy of discipleship.
Where God is Leading Us
CamCC is entering a new season as we prayerfully seek our next Lead Pastor. We are grateful for God’s faithfulness to our church and are excited about the opportunities He has ahead for our congregation and community.
As we move forward, we remain committed to upholding the Biblical values and seeing the faithfulness of God continue to guide us forward as it has in our past. We seek a pastor who will build upon our church’s legacy of faithfulness and prayerfully lead us forward by fully surrendering to Christ and following His leadership.
Key areas of focus for our future include:
Strengthening discipleship
Enhancing local outreach initiatives
Investing in families
Inspiring leadership
