What visitors say
By came from L.A. Thankfully that Saddleback a church is located in SD County. Pastor Rick Warren is the head pastor based out of Lake Forest, CA in Orange county. There are 20 campuses in southern California and internationally. This is a satellite campus that projects the message on a screen. There is a local campus pastor who welcomes, prays, and gives guidance at the end of each sermon. The worship team is live and unique to each campus. This is the only location in San Diego so far, and has about 400 people each week. Services are 9am and 11am every Sunday. Great for all walks of life. They have children's care and student ministries for the teens. They provide TV screen outside with seating for those who choose to participate there instead of inside. There is usually something fun and extra after the service like kettle corn, bounce house, baptisms, and anything else to encourage people to hang out and fellowship. They encourage everyone to get involved in a small group so that as the church grows bigger, everyone can stay intimately connected. I had come here for the past 1.5 years and, it’s better than nothing. If you’re not finding what you want at this location for praise, worship and education about God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and how to apply such knowledge to your life …. within walking distance of this location is a Grace Point Church that is an authentic spot and a different option for you at: 13340 Hayford Way, just down the street. 🙏🏻❤️ I was in San Diego on vacation and looked forward to experiencing Saddleback Church. Warm people, talented worship leaders, a welcome environment for you to experience God and worship him without obstacles. It was easy to find a parking place, great signage and direction from the parking lot crew. “Welcome Back” statements by several people when walking in was a little strange, as I was a new visitor, but maybe I look like someone who’s been there before. *shrug* It appears that the church is new and growing (or maybe it’s a summer vacancy) as there were quite a few empty seats. Welcome team was genuine and not invasive. A lot of the message today was, “You can’t allow your feelings to…”. Best two moments were scriptures read from Malachi about God hating divorce but not divorcees. And experiencing God’s forgiveness as a means of forgiving others. There is freedom in admitting that we fall short, that we don’t have it all together, and that God is forgiving us daily. Book-study message today communicated forgiving the faults of others, which is hard to do when we don’t soak in God’s grace over our own shortcomings. Thanks, Church, for providing me a place to worship and experience the presence of God today. Warmly, Ryan We became familiar with Saddleback after attending a Celebrate Recovery Summit at their main Lake Forest campus years ago. We love everything about Saddleback, their love, and focus on serving God and the community. The sermons are always SOO instructional and inspirational. And we always meet someone who genuinely seems to care (this time it was Joseph, his son Grant and two young visiting Asian women who were there for the 1st time and delighted us by asking LOTS of questions.)
