Not to offend, but looking more for a non-denominational church rather than Catholic, Luthern, Mormon, etc.  Thanks for your responses.

In Irvine, Mariners.  Check out the website.

In south OC, Saddleback.

In northern OC, First Evangelical Free.

I personally, am Catholic.  But I live in Turtle Ridge, and can’t help but notice Mariner’s.  If you want a small church, it may not be the best, but it is quite popular and has many services/aspects—-childcare/daycamps/cafe/bookstore…

I like Saddleback, been to the San Clemente campus a few times.  While I love the more laid back style, I think the main Pastor, Rick Warren, might be a little too liberal, in the political sense of the word.  Any chuches like Saddleback but more on the conservative side?  Maybe the one in Irvine is moreso???

How about praying about it?  Ask God to direct you.  Good luck!

Give a man a fish, and you’ll feed him for a day;
Give him a religion, and he’ll starve to death while praying for a fish.

Maybe God directed him to ask us.

I think Mariners Church is generally more conservative than Saddleback while having a similar ministry, although that is second hand info.  I’ve never been.

If it’s not too late—I really like The Village Church in Irvine. When we moved here I researched a lot of them and tried them out - this tops my list. It’s small enough but not too small. Has a great message and wonderful pastor. Not a “McChurch”. The children’s ministries we have really enjoyed. Hope this helps.
