Born and raised in Southern California, Rick Bradford received his bachelor’s degree in finance from USC and then went on to earn a master’s degree in biblical studies from Talbot Theological Seminary. Rick and his wife Diane came to Saddleback in 2002. He served as pastor of small groups starting in 2006 before becoming pastor of the Laguna Woods campus in 2009. Rick says that at Laguna Woods they are passionate about fellowship — their community truly enjoys spending time together. Outside of work, you’ll find Rick singing along to country music in his car, spending time with family, and regularly taking up a round of golf — which he notes that he might, in fact, someday become good at.
