Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! Psalm 34:8, NLT

Everyone’s life is driven by something, and most of these forces lead to the same dead end: unused potential, unnecessary stress, and an unfulfilled life. There’s nothing more important than knowing God’s purpose for your life. There is no substitute. Success, wealth, fame and pleasure don’t compensate for missing out on God’s way. Saddleback exists to connect you to God’s purpose for you, and to answer life’s greatest question: Does my life really matter? We know that your first time at a church, any church, raises some questions.  At Saddleback, we’ll make sure the first face you see when you approach the church has a smile on it. Whether you are looking for a place for your kids or someone to pray with you, a greeter will be nearby to help you get to where you need to go.

You'll enjoy upbeat music and practical messages that help you deal with real-life issues. We’ll even give you a helpful outline with the Bible passages. What you learn on the weekend, you can use during the week. We want you to connect with the personal hope and practical help that God can give us.

We're more concerned with meeting your real-life needs than with what you wear. So, dress casually and you’ll fit right in.

We know that as a parent you need be sure that your children are in a safe learning environment that’s also fun. We’ve invested a lot to make sure that both of these goals are reached. Our ministry is filled with volunteers who love Jesus and your kids. They are committed to the spiritual health of your children.

If it’s been a long time since you’ve been to church, Saddleback has you in mind! There’s already enough you have to think about when you’re visiting a church for the first time. We hope that getting some of this “stuff” out of the way not only encourages you to join us for church, but also helps you to connect with the hope and encouragement that God has for you.

We’d love for you to join us this weekend.
