      Belong Grow Serve Share

      A church should feel like a family. It shouldn't feel like an event to attend, but a place to belong. That's why CLASS is important – because we weren't meant to go through life alone. When it comes to finding your purpose, using your God-given gifts to serve, and surrounding yourself with community, we're giving you a deliberate path to follow. It's a path that won't confuse you or leave you in the dark.

      So don't think of CLASS as a college course. Think of it as a way to find your purpose and your people, because there's more for you at Saddleback than just attending a weekend service. You have the opportunity to discover your purpose and start living out all that God has for you!

      Translating the Faith

      Ali and Fatma never imagined they would be refugees starting their lives over in a foreign land. In the midst of their crisis, a fellow immigrant invited them to church where they found a welcoming community. But they knew if they embraced this new faith, that decision would come with complications.

      Discovering My Spiritual Maturity

      Life wasn't meant to be lived standing still. We should always be moving, learning, and growing as people and as followers of Jesus. But it can be easy to get stuck in a rut. It's not that you're unwilling to grow – maybe you just aren't sure where to start or what to do next. But it could be as simple as establishing a few key habits in your life to get you on the right track.

      Class 201 is designed to teach you about these simple habits, and show you the different steps you can take to mature and grow as a Christian.

      Here's what you can look forward to in 201:

      • Slow down the busyness of your schedule by learning how to develop a daily time with God.
      • Stop feeling like you're alone in your problems by finding the right small group.
      • Let go of materialism by learning how to give to God first.

      Uncovering the Gift Inside

      Renee had been building a community of friends, but was unsure if there was a place for her at Saddleback. Her husband was already involved as a volunteer, but the couple wanted to explore how they might be able to use their unique gifts together to serve the church.

      Discovering My Ministry

      What you do with your life matters to God. Sometimes it might feel like your actions are inconsequential, but you were created for a purpose! God has shaped you in a unique way – by your spiritual gifts, your heart, your abilities, your personality, and your experiences. This workshop will help you pinpoint each one of these to find your best place to minister at Saddleback Church.

      Class 301 is designed to help you find the perfect place for you to serve in based on who you are. The best part? You'll learn more about yourself and your spiritual gifts.

      Here's what you can look forward to in 301:

      • Find meaning and value from what you do by going from a consumer to a contributor.
      • Sign up to meet one-on-one with a S.H.A.P.E. coach to find your perfect ministry match.
      • Start making a difference in the lives of those around you!

      Discovering My Life Mission

      It's easy to feel helpless when all you're hearing about is the tragedy happening in our neighborhoods and around the world: racism, natural disasters, corrupt politics, homelessness… the list goes on. But have you ever stopped to realize that you have something to offer a hurting world? Because God has designed you to live life on mission, every day could be an opportunity to make the world a better place. You have a role to play!

      Class 401 is designed to equip you to start making an impact on a personal, local, and global scale.

      A Path to His Life Mission

      Jey never expected to do anything more than serve a local church in Southern California. After seeing the difference some of his friends were making as they travelled around the world to help other local churches on PEACE Trips, Jey felt compelled to get involved. As he worried about his lack of experience, God opened the door for him to serve at a church youth sports camp and taught him that he could make a big difference simply by being willing to step out in faith.
