Led By: Tom Holladay
Tom and his wife Chaundel met in High School then attended college together, becoming engaged their senior year. They have now been married forty years and have three children.
Tom earned a BA from California Baptist University (1977), a Master of Divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Mill Valley, California (1981) and from there went to pastor a small church in Marysville, CA. for 10 years. During his ministry a flood destroyed the church buildings and many member’s homes, and the church relocated and rebuilt and began growing again. He says, "The church grew a little while I was there...and I grew a lot!"
In 1991 Tom and Chaundel came to Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA. As a Teaching Pastor at Saddleback, he regularly speaks at the weekend services and at studies throughout the week. He also teaches DriveTime Devotions: a daily ten minute Podcast going through the Bible a chapter a week. In addition to his pastoral leadership and teaching ministries at Saddleback, Tom assists Rick Warren in teaching Purpose-Driven Church conferences to Christian leaders all over the world. Tom’s passion in ministry is to help people discover a love for the Bible and an understanding of God’s truth that changes the way they live.
