Welcome to the Saddleback Church Silicon Valley Extension

The Saddleback Silicon Valley Extension is a group of Saddleback Church members living in the Silicon Valley area, meeting together regularly for worship and fellowship. We exist to urgently lead people to say “yes” to Jesus and his purposes for their lives.

Saddleback Church started with two young church planters, a dream, and a map. God gave Pastors Rick and Kay Warren the dream to plant a church for people who didn’t like church, and He led them to Southern California.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many churches were not able to meet safely, but Saddleback’s online community grew, and in the San Francisco Bay Area, once it became safe, a number of believers, including a number of “ex-pats” from Saddleback’s Southern California campuses, started our extension in Milpitas on March 20, 2022.

Pastors Andy and Stacie Wood started their ministry in California as church planters in the Bay Area, founding Echo Church in 2009, which eventually became one of the fastest growing churches in the area. God called them to transition into leadership at Saddleback Church as Pastor Rick Warren stepped down from his role of senior pastor on September 10, 2022.

Currently, we meet every other week for an in-person worship time, and on the other Sundays, we meet for brunch and a small group study.

At Saddleback, we often say we are better together, and describe ourselves as a family and community. That’s because we are, and we want everyone to feel welcome and wanted, wherever they are.
