Church of the Hills welcomes senior pastor

Dave Crouse has been selected by Christian Church of the Hills to serve a second time as the church's senior pastor. The board of elders also named Duane Dolieslager worship leader and Chris Miuccio as a pastoral intern.

Crouse was senior pastor from 1990 to 2001 and has served as interim pastor the past several months. He will continue as executive director of Angeles Crest Christian Camp.

He is a graduate of Long Beach State University and Pacific Christian College. Before coming to Agoura Hills he served as a youth minister in Rowland Heights and program director at Angeles Crest.

"My family loves the Agoura Hills area and I look forward to being with a church that is a family and wishes to serve the community. CCH is a church anyone can attend, where anyone with a need can come," Crouse said.

Dolieslager, a Modesto native, is a graduate of Cal State Northridge. He taught English at Hillcrest Christian School in Thousand Oaks and has been worship leader at West Valley Christian Church since 2003. He is also a singer/songwriter and is completing his first CD.

Miuccio's duties will include follow-up with visitors, home and hospital visits and coordinating church events. He is enrolled in the BOLD adult degree program at Biola University and has been chairman of the board of elders.
