Saddleback Church Irvine South - Irvine (CA)

Peter Parker Mariners Irvine hosted Dadfest in honor of Fathers Day. Such a wonderful event and sense of community and purpose. Great food, music, and fun, too. The church spreads across a park-like campus. A little disorienting at first for newcomers. Still, the staff and volunteers gave warm welcomes. Returned for worship. Fantastic experience. Appreciated the message, in particular, and how Pastor Eric explained Romans 28:8 in a way never shared before and connected it to the series being taught on Genesis. Brilliant! Two bonuses: a terrific bookstore and cafe. (Get the chorizo and egg burrito.)

Michael Anthony The people who attend WWC are God loving, caring, and wonderful people. This is a family-focused church with a great childrens program. Pastor Frank delivers a biblically-based sermon and its a contemporary worship experience. VERY friendly environment. I highly recommend it!

Susan Domino I moved to Irvine a few months ago and the first thing I did was look for a Calvary Chapel church not realizing Vision City Church is Calvary Chapel. I have had some great pastors in my life Jack Hibbs in Chino Hills and David Guzik in Santa Barbara. I was blown away by Pastor Garid Beeler here in Irvine - his teaching is spot on and I really enjoy the midweek service on Thursdays. If you are looking for a local church in the Irvine area I would strongly recommend checking this church out everyone is very friendly and the teaching is amazing!

Erika Karimi I can’t say enough good things about this church. The community is so warm, welcoming, and genuinely inclusive—it’s a place where everyone is truly embraced. The theology is thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in love. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’ve found a church home!

Ashley Richardson I have been recently attending Grace City Church, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Pastor Stephen Kimbrell truly brings the Bible to life with his engaging and kind teaching style. He is incredibly approachable, making it easy to ask questions and delve deeper into the faith. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. The community is warm and inviting, as if we were already friends. The staff ensured we had all the resources we needed as newcomers to the faith, which was a great touch. I appreciated how they distributed cards before the service to gauge our learning preferences and spiritual journeys. One of my favorite parts of the service was the music at the beginning. The heartfelt songs performed by church members really resonated with me, setting a meaningful tone for the worship. The sense of community at Grace City Church is truly special; it feels like a family. I’m grateful to have found such a supportive place. My kids also love attending—there are engaging programs for them, and they enjoy playing with their friends at church. Plus, there are plenty of community events that bring everyone together. Overall, I would highly recommend Grace City Church. If youre looking for a place that feels like home, this is it!

Kenneth Sabangan Great local church. Really amazing music and sermons are great. The night service tends to be a younger crowd :)

Josie Donato Love it here, always biblical and honest. Great options for kids, nice gift shop, coffee available and the Bible study group options are endless so many choices to pick from.

Michelle TerraNova is a community filled with genuine and friendly people who are very welcoming and committed to making a difference. After visiting several different types of churches in the area, TN stood out the most and remembered my name after 1 visit! Plenty of small group options available and opportunities to give back to the community. If you are still searching for a place to belong, its worth the visit.

Amy Beames I’ve been attending VCI for several years now, and I’ve grown tremendously in my faith here. I know so many people at this church who are real people with flaws, but who are growing because they are sincerely following Jesus and pursuing a relationship with Him. Come join us on a Sunday, and get plugged into a community group or Bible study so we can do life with you, too!

xrxman01 I am not a member of this congregation however have known many of the folks from this church. I can honestly say that everyone I meet from this church shows so much human kindness which in this day and age is missing in our society. This church reflects the love and fellowship that Jesus preached. I am very honored to know them. If I lived closer I surely would attend this church. Very proud to know these wonderful people and know they walk in the steps of Christ.
