Hope Rising

Gene Appel serves as senior pastor at Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, California where we recently worked with him to create a breakthrough series four weeks from Easter Sunday. The series, titled “Hope Rising,” was designed to connect everyone who attended an Easter Sunday service into a small group. As a result, 400 new groups were launched and over 4000 people were connected into groups in a single Sunday.
