      Announcing Saddleback’s New Senior Pastor

      Rick Warren | June 5, 2022

      After a one-year search, Pastor Rick announced that he has found the next Senior Pastor of Saddleback — Pastor Andy Wood! This week, for a special service, Pastor Rick shares the journey of finding his successor and introduces Andy and Stacie Wood, who share how they gave their “Yes” to Jesus. Kay Warren also takes a moment to answer some general questions that may arise and what is next for her and Pastor Rick at Saddleback!
