This is disappointing for me to write because I had a very different perception of Mission…read moreBasilica. Spiritually, it meant a lot to me and I truly hoped it could be the church where my baby would begin his spiritual journey. As a first-time parent, having my baby baptized is something very meaningful to me. I reached out with the hope of baptizing my baby here, but I was ultimately rejected. I was told the reason was because I live about 20 minutes away. What was not taken into consideration is that I moved to Orange County, was pregnant, had my baby, and now that my son is here I was hoping this could be the church he would grow up in. Instead, I had to go back and forth for weeks just to receive a clear response regarding something so important. I have never experienced any form of rejection from a church before, especially when simply trying to bring a child into the faith. A church should be a place that welcomes families who are seeking to raise their children spiritually. Unfortunately, this experience made something that should be beautiful feel forced and unnecessarily complicated. Because of that, this will no longer be the church my son grows up in.

My family wanted me to join them for Easter service so found myself here. There was literally…read morenothing that I disliked; I'm not a normal churchgoer but didn't feel out of place. The experience was uplifting and wonderful! Yes, it's loud AKA they've got a really great band. The message was delivered in a way that was easily understood, appreciated the occasional levity and the accompanying graphics (to read along) were greatly appreciated. Right off 5 freeway, parking was easy and excellent traffic management for a quick exit. I'm thankful that I went and actually want to go again.

I am moving this week and they have gone out of their way to see if there is anything I need. The message was really good! It really encouraged me. This place has a way of truly lifting your spirits. The worship team was very talented, and I loved how they had a fresh word from God to give. Last year, and a bit of this year was rough... but wow did God bring me through it! I wanted to find a place where I could just go listen to the word, and thank Him for all he's done for me. I haven't had a church family in some time, and I know this is the right place for me. These people are ALL truly alive! You can see it in their faces. If you're not a Christian, don't like waking up early, and or don't like churchy people...just try this place. All I can say is I came in one way, and I left with joy in my heart and perfect peace of mind. It's Tuesday, and I am counting the days until I go back again :)

I live a solitary life so I figured I should make an effort to interact with more humans, however…read moreI've become disillusioned with organized religion. I forced myself to go here this morning and I was pleasantly surprised by my visit. Note: I walked out of the last church I visited after 5 minutes. I have criteria that I look for in a church, such as: *good lighting - check, I was impressed with the excellent interior and natural lighting from clerestory *no stupid, creepy religious outfit or robe on pastor - check *pastor looks normal and doesn't feel reptilian - check *pastor doesn't have a used car salesman mentality - check *pastor doesn't ramble on about stupid things his kids did - check *church is not in an office building, warehouse or school - check *good music - check *members aren't a bunch of controlling, old people - check *people are friendly - check *no talk about politics - check So far, this place is good. Hopefully it continues that way.

I would expect a church that practices what it preaches to sell their land for community good or housing for struggling families. Putting in a battery storage plant in a location surrounded by vegetation and steep terrain so close to homes is wrong. Not responding to legitimate concerns from residents is even more upsetting.

It has guest rooms and meeting rooms around a lake for people using it as a retreat center. The main worship center is located on the top of the hill. Today I saw another church holding its Sunday service in an enclosed tent in the lower lot, next to the soccer field. There were a lot of people gathered and talking outdoors when I walked in from the parking lot. In the first tent I found free coffee & donuts. Next to it is the connection center where I found someone with a name badge to answer my questions. Lucky for me that Saddleback is celebrating its 43rd anniversary today with cupcakes for everyone.

Pastor Terry came by and introduced himself with a warm welcoming and the let me tell you this church body is on fire for Christ and definently speak boldly of His love and what our calling is in sharing the truth as spelled out in the Gospel. The worship team were leading the congregation in praise and shouting out in thankful and melodious voices. Pastor Terry is certainly annointed as his passion in Christ's calling on him to lead and teach with a love that is so evident. I encourage anyone seeking a home church where the spirit is alive and well and God's love is being shared in truths that are undeniably inspirational, look no further. In visiting many churches throughout California and attending mega to mini church groups and fellowships it was a beautiful day giving glory to God and sharing love with Pastor Terry and the church family. Ephesians 4:1-16 was the Christ inspired teaching of the day and understanding our calling and gifts bestowed upon us to glorify the saints and ofcourse bring glory while being thankful to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Each of us has a special Gift that God calls us to use to bring glory to God and unity to the church body. Thank you Pastor Terry and church family as I hope to visit again very soon.
