Facility Overview
Sabbath Parking at Loma Linda University Church (LLUC) is a designated parking facility situated at 11125 Campus Street in Loma Linda, California. Positioned directly on the Loma Linda University (LLU) campus adjacent to the prominent University Church, this spacious surface lot serves congregants, university visitors, and community members attending Saturday Sabbath worship services, midweek fellowship, and campus activities. Because this location is a ground-level, open-air surface lot, it offers unobstructed vertical headroom with no clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for standard sedans, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, handicap-accessible vans, and high-roof passenger transport.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Saturday morning services (particularly the primary worship hours at 9:00 AM and 11:45 AM) draw thousands of regular worshipers from across the Inland Empire, lot spaces fill rapidly. Arriving 20 to 30 minutes ahead of scheduled services ensures a quick spot close to the sanctuary entrances. While parking is traditionally designated and open for church attendees on Saturdays without permit ticketing, weekdays (Monday through Friday) may require an authorized Loma Linda University student, staff, or visitor permit. Always verify posted curb signage and avoid marked staff stalls when visiting outside weekend service hours.
