Serve at Saddleback
Spend a few hours at Saddleback and you’ll hear a lot of talk about ministry. What exactly does that word mean? And why does everyone keep talking about it? In simple terms, it’s the concept of serving others. One of the foundations of the Christian faith is living to serve and care for others. And at Saddleback, we like to say that “every member is a minister.“ That means that you can be a part of serving others in the church and in the city.

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:10
