Mission
The PlainJoe team set out on a mission to transform the existing 3,000-seat worship center at the Saddleback Lake Forest campus into an indoor-outdoor venue that would both better steward the Southern California climate, and allow for church members to worship safely all year long. We came alongside Saddleback Church to envision a Big Idea that encompassed both what this church has embodied throughout its lifetime, as well as the values it intends to carry into the future. That Big Idea became “Church Without Walls.” As a church that had amassed over 20,000 members before ever establishing a permanent location, this concept was both ideal and fitting. It was an idea that was not only appropriate for the church’s history and present, but for the vision its leaders have going forward.
