The people in the community groups, the women's group, and the Bible study have been incredibly supportive and uplifting. The pastor's staff is well-trained and compassionate, always ready to provide love and care to those in need. Every sermon has resonated deeply with me, and the worship experience is beautiful. One of the main reasons I fell in love with Southlands is its heartfelt commitment to caring for hurting individuals, exemplified through the training provided by the Stephen Ministry. The pastors over the Stephan's Ministry came to our house and prayed for my husband after his surgery, when we had only been attending the church for two months. You can genuinely feel loved at Southland's Church.

Since our first Sunday, Renew has been welcoming, friendly, and caring. All the Pastors and staff have big hearts and truly care about everyone that visits. There are so many different ministries from Youth, College, Young Adult, Young Families, Global Missions, and classes ranging for sexual addiction to divorce care for kids. There's also a sports ministry that includes basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. I'm sure i i didn't list all the ministries since i'm still very new but Renew has so much to offer. They've been very caring and supportive to me and my family. We just had a beach baptism at Huntington Beach where my Dtr was baptized and it was perfect. We also recently have this new partnership with Hope Intl Univ where Renew offers accredited college and seminary classes that are transferable to local colleges. How many other churches offer classes and for credit? Renew likes to share we're a church for imperfect people but nobody's perfect on this planet. Thank the Lord for Renew Church!! Blessings!!

I normally don't do yelp review about a church, but there's an reason why I'm writing an review…read moreabout this amazing church. I've been going to YLFC church in Yorba Linda since 2010. It's an pretty big church with great people, great pastors, great service, great encouraging music, great church groups and God. Every service I go to, I always get greeted by their volunteers. They're super nice. I even got to say hello to some of the pastors I've met over the years. During the earlier time at YLFC, Phil Hotsenpiller (Teaching Pastor) was one of the pastor during the main service. Great guy, but he's no longer at this church. Now, it's Matthew Cork (Long time Lead Pastor) and Chris Ward (Teaching Pastor) are preaching at the main service. They're an great pastors and always give us the words of encouragement. If you haven't been to this church, you must go to YLFC for their service. I was also involved in the College Group years ago on Tuesday night. I've made great friends at this group. I don't know where are they now, but I do see Aaron (former College Group Pastor) once in a while. Amazing guy he is. I will try to give involved in a church group again soon. Out of all the churches I've ever been to, this one is my favorite and my go-to church. And God is always there for everyone. Thanks for reading and God Bless.

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.

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.
