Trabuco Canyon

Mariners Church Trabuco Canyon
Coming January 2025

Mariners Church is coming to Trabuco Canyon in 2025!

The Trabuco Canyon area gives us a strategic opportunity to share the gospel in multiple surrounding communities including Trabuco Canyon, Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, Lake Forest, Portola Hills, Dove Canyon, and more. With more than 89,000 people within a short drive of our future location, Mariners Trabuco Canyon will allow us to reach and serve thousands of people with God’s love. 

Home Gatherings

Join us at a home gathering! Home gatherings are your opportunity to meet our lead pastor and launch team in an intentional environment. You’ll interact with others interested in Mariners Trabuco Canyon, meet staff members, and have an opportunity to ask questions about our launch.

Shadow Serve Opportunities

Experience serving on a ministry team as we prepare to launch these ministries at our new Trabuco Canyon congregation. You’ll get paired with an experienced leader at Mariners Irvine, have team huddles beforehand, and enjoy a meal with everyone Trabuco Canyon after the service. It’s the perfect opportunity for those wanting to explore or sharpen their serving skills, whether you’re deciding between two or three ministry areas or just need that little push to get started!
