Meet The Pastor
Pastor Andy Wood
LEAD PASTOR, Saddleback Church
Andy Wood
Pastors Andy and Stacie Wood started their ministry in California as church planters in the Bay Area. They began Echo Church in 2009, and it eventually became one of the fastest growing churches in the area. In 2022, God called them to transition into leadership at Saddleback Church as Pastor Rick Warren stepped down from his role of senior pastor.
Andy's passion is to create environments that engage unchurched people. Along with leading the church, Andy enjoys investing time in helping church planters and leaders think more innovatively and strategically to reach people in the most unreached areas of North America. Andy and Stacie have three kids, Caedmon, Sammy, and Karis.
