Easter Services for Rancho Santa Margarita

On what is generally regarded as the most important day of the year for Christians, tens of thousands are expected to cycle through Easter services at Saddleback Community Church and its satellite venues on Sunday morning, as well as church services throughout the southland.

Saddleback Church worshipers are expected to gather for sunrise services beginning at 6:30 a.m., in Coto de Caza, while the main sanctuary in Lake Forest, and others in Rancho Capistrano and Irvine are to begin at 7 a.m.—the same time those who normally attend at The Grove will gather under the Big A at Angel Stadium.

After sunrise, services at the main campus will be at 7, 9 and 11:15 a.m., and 1 and 6 p.m.
