We are offering in-person groups that will be meeting in various locations including host homes, campus buildings and offices, backyards, parks, and public spaces. Those details vary by campus, please contact the SSM pastor at your campus for specifics.

Life Groups are small groups for students, with 10-12 students and 2 leaders! Groups will meet on Tuesday or Wednesday nights with other students, same gender and grade. Being involved with a Life Group is an awesome way to connect with other students and grow closer to God.

As groups prepare to launch in the fall, we are closely monitoring the situation. Our hope and prayer is that we will be able to successfully have in person groups without any issues. When the time comes, our church leadership will set appropriate guidelines in order to keep every student and leader safe and healthy, which is our top priority.

Every Life Group Leader is an adult in our church who has been interviewed, background checked by the FBI and DOJ, and trained by our pastoral staff. Life Group Leaders are an extension of our team and represent some of the best servant-leaders our church has to offer. They are looking forward to journeying with your student this upcoming year.

Yes! If your student is not ready for a Life Group, you can sign up for our waiting list which runs through May, and we will do our best to get your student plugged into a group.

We would love for you to join our leadership team! Head to the “Leaders” page on our website and download the SSM application. Fill it out and email it to hsm@saddleback.com. We’ll get back to you shortly.
