Rooted and grounded in God's Word. Feet firmly planted on the truth. Confident in what we believe, why we believe it and, most importantly, why it matters. Foundations, taught by Pastor Tom Holladay and other Saddleback teachers, is a step by step approach to understanding the essentials of what it means to be a follower of Christ.
