    We visited the church and hope to find community. They offer a ministry called Steven's ministry for anyone undergoing a crisis. My daughter passed away in 2021 and I hoped to find a mentor through this ministry that can walk with me through my pregnancy (at the time being) after loss. First off I was given a tour and I was hoping to seek biblical advice and feedback. However, when I spoke to the lead of the ministry, she told me that they actually cannot give me any feedback or advice. They just need to sit there and listen. Odd! Also, when the head of ministry asked me how I was doing I told her I was a little stressed because my baby had a cardiology appointment coming up. She then offered me a sliding scale for prayer! Paid prayer at this church! Beware! Completely biblical. Be aware of the churches they take advantage of individuals going through crisis. Thank goodness I have a solid walk in my faith. I decided to mess with the woman on the text message and ask her if there was ' a refund policy' ha!

    The Ladies Christmas Tea. So much laughter, love, and light.

    Baptisms are way too casual also - quick, often spur of the moment, often with no testimony.

    My wife and I recently moved to the area and decided to check out Saddleback Church - Brea for the…read morefirst time. We were pleasantly surprised by the ample parking at the community center, which is always a plus. From the moment we arrived, we were genuinely welcomed by everyone, including their kids, it truly felt like a warm and inviting atmosphere. We even received a very nice, clearly not cheap, first-timer's mug, which was a lovely touch. We also filled out a connection request to learn more, as we're still searching for our home church. The worship was great; the singers and band had fantastic energy, and the slides were awesome. I didn't know any of the songs, but my wife mentioned they were all modern, which explains why they were new to me. While at the connection table, we learned that typically, the message is delivered via screen or recording. However, on our visit, their lead campus pastor was preaching live, and it was a real treat! He was incredibly engaging and delivered a fantastic message. This brings me to the main reason for my 4-star rating: I'm a bit puzzled why their ideology seems to focus around a main pastor delivering messages via screen when they have such a talented campus pastor right there. While I understand some churches might do this if a pastor is away, it seems to be the norm here, almost like a "long-term sub" situation, as another reviewer put it. For me, while community is vital, I also want to feel connected to the pastor delivering the message, not just from a screen. Their whole service is also only about an hour long. It was particularly disheartening to hear the campus pastor say, "I went to school for this and I don't get to do this every week," and that he "won't speak again for a very long, long time." As someone who went to school for graphic design but ends up doing project management all day, that comment resonated deep in my soul. I truly hope he gets more opportunities to speak because he's genuinely great. The message itself, taught from the NIV, wasn't boring, but it felt quite "generic" or basic. While it's good for newer believers or those new to the faith, for someone like me who's been a Christian for a while, it didn't go very deep. I appreciate delving into the lore, the original Greek/Hebrew words, and understanding the historical context behind the authors' choices. I know this might put me in the minority, but it's just not my preferred style of teaching for personal growth in my walk with Christ. I'm not trying to bash the church at all. This "hybrid" model might be the perfect fit for many people seeking a strong community aspect, and it is on the smaller, more intimate side. The campus pastor even made sure to say hi and goodbye to everyone after the service, which was a really nice touch. I'm just trying to provide all the information for anyone considering visiting for the first time. Please don't let my review sway you from checking it out for yourself to see if it fits your needs. This is just my personal experience, and everyone's will be different. They are still a solid church, and their teachings are aligned with my beliefs, but for my personal spiritual growth, I don't think it's the place for me. God bless.

    Are you looking for a church you can belong to?…read more Saddleback Brea is built on a foundation of love...love for Jesus, community, service, discipleship and evangelism. I started going to Saddleback Brea about a year ago and it has made my life so much better. I was struck by how warm and friendly the people were. They really do care! And, I have been here ever since. We are a church that supports each other and has the biggest heart for service, not only on Sundays but with our different ministries and community outreach. But, most of all, we have fun together! If you've haven't found a church to plug in and get connected to community, then Saddleback Brea may just be the place for you.

A friend told us about Living Hope, and when I saw the staff and saw all Korean folks, I'll be honest, I was thinking, no thanks. I heard so many stories about Korean churches, that they were either drama or super cliquish. Not so with Living Hope, and I was really grateful for that. The kids program at Living Hope are great, but more than that, the teachers love God and love the kids. That's really all that I could ask for. But there's more. There are so many ways to serve, get connected, and to know people, so that it's a really great place to get plugged in. Here's a concise rundown of the church: Church Services: https://www.livinghopecc.org/sundays 9:30am Service - Mostly families because kids services are during this time (Infants - 5th grade) 11:30am Service - Mostly singles and college (though youth is during this time as well) - Cool thing is that the founding pastor is still here! Pretty amazing - They have cell groups for families and singles - If you're new and want to get to know the church, there's something called first lunch every month where you get to have lunch with some of the pastoral staff to get to know them and ask questions - They're non-denominational - But truly this is so unique in that their pastors have different stances, but the Christian core beliefs are all the same

    We're new to the area and really enjoyed ourselves--we'll definitely be back…read more We used to attend a church on the other side of Irvine while living in Huntington Beach. About seven months ago, we bought a home in Brea and have visited a few churches nearby, but none of them felt like the right fit for us. I didn't feel it was fair to leave negative reviews--everyone connects to God and the Bible in their own way. This church was recommended to us by our super sweet dog sitter. About a week ago, I stopped by when I noticed Lion & Lamb had opened (10/10 on the coffee, by the way), and realized it was the same church she had mentioned. I told my husband we should check it out. Right away, we were welcomed by Kellen (I may have his name slightly wrong), who was so kind and walked us over to the kindergarten Sunday school, where another very nice woman helped us from there. We really enjoyed the woman pastor--she was funny, relatable, and we followed the entire message without even checking our phones once. We're not big on music, so we came in around 9:40 and caught the tail end of the singing. Overall, the group felt incredibly welcoming. We'll definitely be back, and hopefully after a few more Sundays, we can call this our church. Side note--our son loved Sunday school so much that when I asked if he wanted to go back next week, he said, "Sure, I'll make more friends."

I can still remember sitting in the sanctuary and looking up to an open sky because the roof was not completed yet.. It's heartbreaking to see how much has changed, seemingly in an effort to keep up with trends or popularity. This church played such a meaningful role in my and my brother's childhood. We grew up there, and the memories are something I will always cherish deeply. To this day, I still listen to Pastor Swindoll podcast and his past sermons from his time in Frisco before he retired. His teaching continues to bless me. It's just incredibly sad to see that the heart and spirit of the church we knew seems to have faded.
