(a) Backyard Saddleback—A Saddleback EXPERIENCE in a home setting. Designed for a couple of small groups (30-60 people) to worship together and invite their neighbors. We’re going to start these anywhere we can find a host and 2-4 small groups who will commit to attending/serving.
(b) Saddleback Satellite—A Saddleback SERVICE in your community. Worship in a midsized gathering of 100-300 at a neutral location like a theater, restaurant, or neighborhood clubhouse. We envision each Saddleback Satellite to be a place with great worship and safe places to invite friends and family in the ease of their local community. We are planning to start Satellites in Laguna Hills, Huntington Beach, and Corona.
(c) Saddleback Campus—A Saddleback CHURCH in your area. A regional campus is a full-service Saddleback start up. A community of 500 to 1500, you’ll find multiple service times, programs for children and students, and a small group to join. Check out Saddleback San Clemente and experience it firsthand. We are planning on planting our next Saddleback Campus in Irvine or Tustin.
Found an interesting blog that is an on-going feature coming out of Saddleback Church. Here's a peak into what they're looking at for the future. It includes a goal of ten campuses by the year 2010. Here's their strategy for accomplishing this:

At what point do we acknowledge that the satelite and regional campus model is really not all that different than the model that was adapted by every other denomination that has desired to expand its ministry beyond the first pioneers church. What’s interesting is that what it took many early denominations only a few short years to begin has taken the megachurch movement nearly 3 decades to adapt. I believe that this is mostly due to the non-denominational church’s desire to remain non-denominational. What I wonder is if they realize what they are really doing is creating their own “disinctive brand” much like any other denomination. Along with the new growth that come with additional campuses, and churches; also comes the more challenging issue of quality control across a system.
If it means more people are coming to faith, I say praise God. I only hope that we consider both the intended and unintended consequences of non-denominational churches launching “branded” churches.

Dale,
I think you’re right about what you say, but not with regard to Saddleback, which is, as I recall, not non-denominational. (Or are they?)

colleen Kelly Mellor's New Blog: Biddy Bytes on Fri, July 09, 2010
I am a published journalist who has just developed my blog site, http://www.biddybytes.com, a blog of encouragement. My writings are personal reflections based on my own challenges throughout life. I have been very successful despite divorce from one abusive husband early on, and then burying two more husbands by the time I was 42. Throughout those years, I taught public school and single-parented two daughters—very successful women today. My message is one of hope, often laced with humor. and it is my intent to counter the onslaught of today’s media negatiivism.
