Hi! I am Bob Hislar.
I have enjoyed serving the Lord at the Camarillo Church of
the Nazarene since 1989. Prior to that, I ministered in the Lancaster
Valley View Church of the Nazarene for 12 years. My call
to preach and pastor came in 1970. At that time, I was teaching Sunday
school at the Highland Park Church of the Nazarene in Los Angeles.
Answering God's call to the ministry, I attended Nazarene Theological
Seminary in Kansas City. During my last two years at seminary, I
pastored a rural church 90 miles north of Kansas City. Upon graduation
with a Master's of Divinity degree, I accepted my first pastorate in
Lancaster.

Before entering seminary, I taught English and coached
cross-country and track at Duarte High School. While teaching, I
continued my studies at Pasadena College (now Point Loma Nazarene University
in San Diego) and received a Master's degree in counseling.
I married DeAnn, my childhood sweetheart (we met when she
was 12 and I was 14), in 1964. The Lord blessed us with a son and a
daughter of our own, two adopted sons, and a foster daughter. Together,
they have enriched our lives beyond our imagination. We enjoy our seven
grandchildren immensely. Teaching God's word and loving His people are my greatest
fulfillment. As the senior pastor at the Camarillo Church of the
Nazarene, I am the lead servant of a godly and gifted staff and congregation,
who love to serve and share the love of God. My greatest desire is to
always be faithful and obedient to my Lord in all that I do and say.

Hi! I’m Rick. I joined the Camarillo Church of the Nazarene team in April of 2005. For most of my ten-plus years in music ministry I have been in the Southern and Northern California areas, as well as West Texas. I have enjoyed every moment of it.
I accepted the call to ministry as a teenager at the Denver, Lakewood Church of the Nazarene under the mentorship of Harlan and Barbi Moore, our Worship Pastors at the time. From there I enrolled at Point Loma Nazarene University where I earned my B.A. in Church Music. In May of 2000 I was ordained as a pastor in the Church of the Nazarene while serving on the Northern California District.
When Pastor Jim and Darlene Norcross came on staff at the Denver Lakewood church in 1984, they brought with them their daughter Renee. As Renee tells it, “I chased him for about ten years…he finally caught me in May of 1995.” In 2002, after many years of pursuing what seemed to be the impossible dream, God did a miracle for Renee and me by giving us Lauren Elizabeth. She was born on Mother’s Day, May 12 (2002) and our lives are now filled with more joy than we ever dreamed possible.
I love serving the Lord as a Worship Pastor. There is nothing more exciting to me than helping to usher God’s people into His presence. Renee, Lauren and I are very blessed to be doing just that, here at the Camarillo Church.
