What You Can Expect

You might have a few questions before you arrive–here are some of the most common ones!

I’ve never been to Christmas at Saddleback. What should I expect?

We're so glad you’re thinking about joining us! When you arrive, our parking team will help you find a spot, and our greeters will be happy to answer any questions or point you in the right direction. The service lasts about 60-70 minutes and will include candle lighting, live Christmas music, and an encouraging message. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Where is Saddleback Church located?

We have 15 locations in Southern California and 6 international campuses! Click here to find the campus closest to you. If there isn't a campus near you, join our online community!

Do I need a ticket or reservation?

You're welcome to attend any service–no reservation needed.

What should I wear?

Most people dress casually—t-shirt, jeans, and comfortable shoes. Wear whatever makes you feel at home!

Where do I go after I arrive?

Come by The Hub, where our Welcome Team would love to meet you and help you get settled. If you’re new to Saddleback, we even have a free gift waiting for you! Plus, don’t forget to grab some free coffee while you’re there.

What about my kids?

Saddleback Kids (SK) offers fun, safe, and age-appropriate programming for children from Birth through Grade 5. When you arrive, a greeter will help guide you to our Saddleback Kids check-in area so your kids can enjoy a Christmas experience designed just for them!

Can I serve at Christmas services?

Yes! Every Christmas, thousands of people walk through our doors looking for hope, joy, and connection. Serving on a team is a simple way to help create a welcoming, meaningful experience and share the love of Jesus!

Will there be weekend services on December 27 or 28?

The weekend following Christmas, we’re worshipping from home! Saddleback at Home is an online-only service you can experience wherever you are, whenever you’d like. The service will be available on demand starting Saturday, December 27 at 4:00 PM at saddleback.com. There will be no in-person services at any Saddleback campus during the December 27/28 weekend.
