Saddleback Church based in Lake Forrest, California, has eight (8) worship venues and six (6) campuses.  Senior Pastor Rick Warren is well known in the Christian community and author of the best-selling Purpose Driven Church.  Warren started Saddleback Church on Easter of 1980, and it has grown to be one of the largest churches in the country.  Pastor Warren and Saddleback Church’s influence has now spread around the globe.

You can visit Saddleback by taking a nice trip to Southern California, or you pull up your chair to computer and attend online.  Saddleback offers live streams of its services here.  Live services are streamed on Saturdays at 4:30 and 6:30 PM, and on Sundays at 9:00 & 11:15 AM and 4:30 & 6:30 PM.  All times are Pacific.  If you arrive at a time when services aren’t being streamed live, a countdown clock will appear indicating when the next service will air.

On Saddleback’s live service page you can join a chat, take notes, look up passages in the online Bible, and complete a response card.  You can also download the sermon notes and a discussion guide.  Archived services are also linked to the page so that you can watch past messages in case a live one isn’t available.  Saddleback also links to other ministries from their live service page that can connect you to small groups, offer an opportunity to give financially, learn more about Christ, and find care and help.

With the internet becoming more and more important in our lives and the quality that new technologies allow, Saddleback’s campus is a great one to bookmark.  If you always wanted to live in Cali but just can never seem to get there, at least you can worship at a church that’s making a difference in the OC.
