Monthly worship services with all home churches third Sunday of the month
10:00 AM
Our Vision: To reach 18.3 million people in LA by following the early church model and bringing church into homes. There are three elements to the model:
A monthly gathering with live preaching, worship, and a family-friendly environment.
Weekly workshops on practical topics like marriage, parenting, and finances, offered alongside our Saddleback Kids program.
Meeting in homes 3 out of 4 weeks in a month to watch services, build community, and grow in faith.
