SHAPE GUIDES

Volunteers who meet one-on-one with church members who have taken Activate 3 and have completed a

SHAPE profile to assist them in discovering possibilities of serving that would be rewarding to them. By

understanding their SHAPE, we try to connect them with various ministries, individuals and opportunities

that would be a good fit.

MANDARIN COMMUNITY SMALL GROUP & HOSTS

To build community with other members on a personal level.

Life is not meant to be lived alone. In fact, God hates loneliness. You were created to experience life with

other people, and that’s why at Saddleback, we encourage you to get into a small group.

A small group is a group of three or more people who gather each week in a home, workplace, or online. In a

group you’ll hang out, study the Word, and pray together. No matter where you are in life, we can help you

find a group. Small group hosts are members who facilitate with creating a welcoming and supportive

environment for group members’ personal and spiritual growth.

ACTIVATE CLASSES

ACTIVATE 1-4 classes are our spiritual growth and maturity classes, designed to give our congregation some

steppingstones as they walk through life with Christ. They are an integral part of our foundation to teach

people how to love Christ and how to love others.

Help others take their next steps in discovering their purpose by helping us prepare the rooms, welcome

guests, and answer any questions.

Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and

times a year.
