What to Expect

Are you looking for a church home where your family can experience community? We would love to have you join us at one of our weekend services!

When you arrive at your church campus, greeters are available to guide you to our Saddleback Kids check-in area. From there, you will go to your child's classroom and be greeted by one of our incredible SK leaders. Every SK classroom has at least two adult leaders who have completed our volunteer orientation, interview, comprehensive background check and training process. In the event we need to contact you during the service, we will text the phone number you provided at check-in.

Next Steps

Kids Small Groups

Kids Small Groups (KSG) is a mid-week discipleship program for the children of Saddleback Church in Pre-K through Grade 5. Working through the current discipleship curriculum, your child will focus on developing a relationship with Jesus, learning what it means to be a part of the church family and connecting with their peers and leaders. All of this is done in a consistent small group atmosphere — same leaders, same kids and same day/time each week.

Child Dedication

Child Dedication is a special ceremony where parents publicly commit to guide their child towards a personal relationship with Jesus. Prior to participating in our Child Dedication ceremony, we require parents to attend Child Dedication Class to learn more about this special experience.

Baptism

Baptism is an outward act which publicly shows the personal decision you made to follow Jesus. At Saddleback we baptize the same way Jesus himself was baptized, through full immersion. Has your child expressed an interest in being baptized? Then we would love to have you and your child join us at our next Kids Baptism Class at your Saddleback Church home campus! During Baptism Class your child will learn about God's plan of salvation through Jesus, what baptism is and why Jesus commands his followers to be baptized.

Resources for Discipling your Child

Saddleback Kids is here to partner with you as you disciple your child. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Start children off on the right path. And even when they are old, they will not turn away from it." We want to help you in that amazing, God given work of setting your child on the right path. We have developed some resources to guide you as you do just that. Go deeper in the current weekend lessons with your child, get encouragement and resources from the Saddleback Parents website, or check out all the Bible story and teaching videos on our YouTube channel. If your child is ready to say yes to Jesus, check out a guide to walk that through with them. We are praying that as we do this work together, that your child will truly follow Jesus for all their lives.
