      Get To Know Us

      Loving God and Loving People

      Saddleback Church started with two young church planters, a dream, and a map. God gave Pastor Rick and Kay Warren the dream to plant a church for people who didn't like church, and he led them to Southern California.

      Forty years, 9,000 small groups, 50,000 baptisms, and countless salvations later, we are still seeing miracles. Come and see what God is doing at Saddleback!

      First time here?

      We want to connect with you.

      Andy Wood | Lead Pastor

      Meet Pastor Andy

      Pastor Andy Wood and his family moved to Orange County in the summer of 2022 to follow God's call to lead Saddleback Church. Since then, we've been so blessed by his leadership and looking forward to the future.

      Get Connected

      Church isn't an event to attend — it's a place to belong.

      God made us to be in community with people. We need each other, because we can do more, be more, and endure more when we're walking through life together. Small groups at Saddleback Church are places to build authentic relationships with people who will support you and love you, no matter what.

      Small Groups

      No matter your age or life stage, there's a group for you — men's, women's, couples, singles, and more!

      Make A Difference

      Our faith is more than an idea

      Our faith in who Jesus is should affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. We express God's love for others by meeting not just their spiritual needs, but their physical needs as well. In a world filled plagued with poverty, racism, spiritual emptiness, disease, and natural disasters, we have the opportunity to reach out and make a difference in the lives of others. This can be in your neighborhood, in your city, or around the world!

      Serving

      You have something to offer the church that no one else does. God has given you something unique, and we want to help you figure out how to use that gift in an area of ministry based on your S.H.A.P.E. — spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences.

      Living on Mission

      As a church family, we have a mission to express God's love for others by meeting their physical and spiritual needs. In a world filled plagued with poverty, racism, spiritual emptiness, disease, and natural disasters, we have the opportunity to reach out and lend a hand. This can be in your neighborhood, in your city, or around the world!
