    Pastor Rick Warren👍👍.... Not like any other church. Beautiful outside park like settings. In door and outside seating. Live music and movies always something going on for adults and kids of all ages. And a family of Christ with open arms welcoming you to learn and love God. Check it out....

    Great Big campus indoor outdoor seating. All walks of life here. Children have their classes and meet up after service full of great teaching of the Bible. There are Large TVs through out able to see what takes place on stage. Worship is powerful some new songs mixed w older great songs. Though it’s a Huge church u don’t feel isolated. So many staff members walking around to help if needed, provide a personal prayer request.Big Baptismal pool & church provides a drying towel change of clothes to go into pool for incase your baptism was unplanned) great community to become apart of. At the end of service there is beverages to enjoy in the courtyard area. It’s just awesome great to seat outside and have warmth w fire place or heat lamp.

    It was my first time attending this church and I had to say thank you for all their hospitality and service! Everything was just perfect I’ve already referred it to my friends and family and I’ll be attending more services! 🙌

    This is a wonderful place to worship, hear the word of God and meditate. I love this church! My first visit was about 3 years ago. It definitely was one of the reasons why I moved to CA from NY. There are so many ways that you can serve and get to know other people.

    Fantastic atmosphere and message Music is kind of the same, simple with barely any groove or feeling, but the message and nice treatment you get here will make you forget that. I can fully recommend it for you and your family 💯

    Such a wonderful & friendly place to enjoy & worship! The only problem is the music played before, during & after services is far too loud & uncomfortable to enjoy. It was never this loud & obnoxious previously?!?! We would enjoy Church music during services.....we don't attend Church services for a loud concert to diminish our hearing! Please turn it down! Blessings

    A place where you belong, regardless of your past, background, status in life, ethnicity. My life never felt more meaningful until I joined Saddleback church. Thank you especially to Pastor Rick Warren for all his inspiring messages that kept me motivated to stay strong and positive regardless of the many challenges that came my way. Am indeed reborn!!

    We have been a member since 2010, and we absolutely enjoy the sermon as well as all the extra activities they provide. We love pastor Rick, pastor Tom Halladay, pastor Buddy, and all the other pastors and staff. Also a very beautiful campus to visit.

    the womens bible study is not a real study. I needed prayer and they did not want to pray for me. they do not offer prayer to anyone. they hurt me so bad. some pastors here were unwilling to explain any scripture. this is definitely not a real church all churches want money and they don't teach anything. stay away from all churches to avoid hurt, pain, and sadness

    Love this church! So welcoming and their messages always move me. The music is amazing and you really feel good being here. You leave feeling different, moved by the messages and feeling welcomed. I love the diversity of the church and how they offer so many opportunities to get involved and be apart of the church.

    We drove from SF down CA Hwy. 1 arriving into LA just in time for Easter Sunday. We were very impressed. We had never seen a church like this before. We will return when we are in LA again.

    They are the most welcoming church I've been to. I travel quite the distance just to insure my children will be engaged and inspired.

    I've been attending Saddleback Church off and on for several months now off and on for two to three years now and I know Andy would is a new pastor from the bay him and his wife they have taken over the church for Rick Warren I heard from hundreds of people Rick Warren's false Doctrine and never really reaching and preaching out of the word of the Bible so he brought in this new pastor Andy Wood and I've been listening to him off and on for several months now seems to know what he's talking about but never really quotes on scriptures out of the word of God it seems like Saddleback Church is more interested and just having a big congregation playing music more than anything and not really preaching the true doctrine of the word of God me and my brother drove out to Bakersfield this past weekend and ran into two men inside the mall that are from a real mighty Church in Bakersfield where the holy spirit's really moving and when I told him I want to Saddleback Church after he asked me and I told him the new pastor there was from the bay his name was Andy would he stopped me immediately and told me that Andy would doesn't preach the word of God he preaches false Doctrine and warn me about other things about him as well the alarm to me and warn me about listening to him for many reasons at this point I'm going to leave it in the hands of the Lord at this point I'm going to leave it in God's hands when I do a 10 there I never really feel the Holy Spirit moving he never really gets deep into the word of the Lord other than just call you scriptures here and there I understand in the last days there's going to be a lot of false preachers and false Doctrine Wolfson sheep's clothing

    Saddleback Church is an awesome place where people come together. To sing in worship. Listen to God's Word. Find their Purpose. Learn how to Serve others. If you haven't a home church. Or are just looking to connect with loving/ caring people, you are invited to join us on any Saturday (4p or 6p) or Sunday (9a or 11a). Jesus loves you.

    We went to the light show and we ended up getting there a bit too late because it started raining so they had to stop the show but the set ups and all of the different sections and decor were beautiful !

    My life is in a completely different place and my relationship with God is stronger than it has ever been with Pastor Rcks casual but direct messages on how God wants us to rely on him for everything. SC has so many resources if you need help, God has truly blessed this Church, my life wouldn't be the same without it.

  • 5/5 Blessed 1. 1 year ago on Google
    You have got to come see for yourself. Free coffee, warm, loving greeters, outdoor seating for you and your dogs, with heaters!Bookstore. Best of all is the message and the music: a blessed experience all around the campus.

    As a Canadian, it's unbelievable to visit such a large church. The complex is very big and it was a good experience.

  • 5/5 Rich B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my home church. All are welcome and genuinely greeted. The worship band is professional level and every member here is seeking a closer walk with Jesus and a deeper connection to God the Father. Pastor Rick will always be my spiritual mentor. I listen to his pod cast every morning. New pastors Andy & Stacey have been picked and directed by the lord to lead this fellowship into the next generation. Hold onto your seats brothers and sisters, this is an E ticket ride!!!!⁰

    Wonderful mega church with a rock concert-like atmosphere and super friendly greeters. It used to be our home church for many years. Great starter church for those new in the community.

    In my life I have had the privilege of listening to inspiring,motivating and life changing pastors. But here, I have found my personal best. Thank you Rick and Andy… Absolutely Amazing.

  • 5/5 Patrick H. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a super Christmas service. It was quite the first time seeing an actual presentation of the birth of Jesus, with all the live animals and the Manger scene in the town of Bethlehem . Enjoyed every moment. We all had a great celebration of Christmas with you all. Thank you.

    My heart is so happy. Seeing Pastor Rick and Kay, before driving home, was the best!! As soon as I walked on the property, I was teary. So many wonderful memories of working here, and living in OC. ✨️ 💖

  • 5/5 Diane W. 1 year ago on Google
    I came to Saddleback Church back in 2004 when I was broken from so much pain. The very first time I was there, somehow I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. God used Pastor Rick, Pastor Tom, Pastor Buddy and so many guest Pastors & a few ministries I got involved in during all my years there to heal my pain and to make changes in my heart that God needed to make. I still have a ways to go as God is not done with me yet, but I will forever be grateful for my journey and as I reflect on my life, and see how far God has brought me. Looking so forward to see what God has planned as we welcome Pastor Andy as our new Senior Pastor. Zero regrets. 100% grateful 🙏✝️

😐 It's a great park but beware the following. A few summers ago my dog went into the bushes the run adjacent to the highway and got attacked by hornets to the point we had to take her to the vet for treatment. ALSO, the pictures I've included are of a gap in the fenced area by the pond. My 27 pound do...
