Rick Warren, who founded Saddleback Church in Orange County, retired after delivering the same sermon he gave on his first day, called 'The Beginning of a Miracle.'
Latinos are the fastest-growing group of evangelicals in the United States. They’re increasingly driving a political realignment.in June 2021, a decision partly prompted by his declining health, and also by a promise he’d made to the dozens of early congregants he’d managed during the first year of the church in 1980, that he would give the new church 40 years of his life.
Now 68 years old, Warren said he and his wife, Kay, had originally planned to retire in 2020, but had an “uneasy feeling it still wasn’t the right time to resign.” It was a familiar message to the thousands of congregants in the 120-acre Lake Forest facility and the many who watch livestreams of Saddleback services. During his time as senior pastor, Warren transformed a Southern California church with no permanent place of worship into an influential behemoth that would expand to Argentina, Hong Kong, Germany and the Philippines.
