Mentoring Others Toward Effective Life-change
The mission of the Motel Outreach is to fulfill the Great Commission (preach the gospel and make disciples) and the Great Commandment (love God and your neighbors) by reaching out to those living as residents in motels.

Connecting Conversations
Saddleback Church small groups reach out to the motels every Sunday at four locations in Costa Mesa, and Santa Ana. All of which are less than a 30 minute drive. The motel guests enjoy the presence of small groups and value simple and honest conversation about life, family, and spiritual matters.  Your ministry of listening, laughing, and praying together brings God's love in unexpected and unusual ways. Small talk often leads to God talk.

Food and Fellowship
Small groups meet a leader from our ministry at the motel on the morning of the outreach and are usually finshed by noon. Small groups purchase the breakfast then serve it with cooking equipment that is already at the motel.  After breakfast, the whole group enjoys a short worship service with a message and prayer.

Better Together
We also offer a three-week training curriculum for your small group. It will help your group discover practical ways to serve, see the big picture of what God is doing through the Motel Outreach and get the most out of your experience.

Getting started is as easy as 1-2-3.  Here's how...

1. You will need at least 8 people in your group commited. If you are short handed see if you can get a few friends or family members to help you. Also we can blend your small group with another small group.
2. Schedule a Sunday to serve with our motel coordinator by sending an email to: moteloutreach@gmail.com .
3. After you have been asigned a date of service you can pick up the three-week small group training curriculum. We have it at the Ministry Center church offices during the week or make other arrangements for us to get it to you.
