'Announcing Saddleback’s New Senior Pastor' with Pastor Rick Warren

After a one-year search, Pastor Rick announced that he has found the next Senior Pastor of Saddleback — Pastor Andy Wood! This week, for a special service, Pastor Rick shares the journey of finding his successor and introduces Andy and Stacie Wood, who share how they gave their “Yes” to Jesus. Kay Warren also takes a moment to answer some general questions that may arise and what is next for her and Pastor Rick at Saddleback!

Some of Pastor Rick's sermons have helped me through the darkest times in my life. You have been a great teacher and know it is equally as hard for us to let go of you also. Thank you for all you have done and allowing God to use you to touch so many lives mine included. God bless you, Andy, and Saddleback.
