They have all attended Saddleback Church in Lake Forest since 1986.
Raised in a Catholic home, Mr. White received his first Holy Communion at age seven and his Confirmation at age twelve. By the time he was in High School he attended mass every day of the week. He does not remember a time when he did not believe that Jesus was the Son of God. However, during his senior year his father had a salvation experience that was different than Mr. White’s experiences had been in the Catholic Church. Somewhat confused by his father’s conversion there began a dialogue between him and his dad. After some time Mr. White’s father led him into a personal relationship with Christ. Mr. White began reading the scriptures daily and eventually became convinced that he needed to be baptized as an adult, by immersion, and leave the Catholic Church that he loved. He and His father were baptized together and began looking for Evangelical Protestant Churches. He and his family settled on Saddleback Church in Lake Forest under the leadership of Pastor Rick Warren. Since 1986 he and his family have been members there. His children were all baptized at Saddleback Church and his family has served in various ministries including, small group Bible study leaders, PEACE Team participants, short team missionary visits to Mexico, and most recently as a volunteer at Saddleback’s food pantry.
