Eastside Christian Church

What Eastside Christian Church does

Eastside Christian Church is a non-denominational Christian religious organization founded in 1962 and headquartered in Anaheim, California. It operates seven campuses: six physical locations across California (Anaheim, Irvine, Bellflower, Redlands), Nevada (Las Vegas), and Minnesota (Park Rapids), plus a dedicated Online Campus led by its own pastor. The church delivers in-person weekend worship services, live and on-demand online streaming via YouTube, age-tiered programming from birth through young adults, small groups, volunteer ("Dream Team") engagement, and local/global compassion initiatives. Its core operations are supported by a GoodBarber-built mobile app (iOS and Android), Pushpay-powered online giving (including crypto and non-cash donations), and an internal Monday.com/Breeze stack for project management.

The organization is governed by a board of elders and led by a pastoral executive team that includes Executive Directors for Finance/Admin/IT (CFO), Creative Arts, Campus Operations, and Build Community, plus dedicated campus pastors for each location and an Online Campus Pastor. It runs a structured People Development pipeline (Leader through Executive) and an Internship Program, expanding to a Summer track in 2026. It was recognized as the second fastest growing church in America by Outreach Magazine in 2017 and certified as a Best Christian Workplace by the BCW Institute in 2025. Dave Dummitt officially joined as Senior Pastor in August 2025, succeeding Gene Appel as part of a planned succession.

Eastside is funded entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings from its congregation, with no disclosed revenue, no outside equity backing, and no parent organization. Pricing is effectively zero for attendance, programs, and ministries; revenue mechanics are subscription-style recurring donations via PushPay plus one-time gifts, in-service giving, mailed contributions, and digital/app donations. The customer base is diffuse: individuals and families at any stage of spiritual exploration, including children, students, young adults, and service-oriented volunteers, served across in-person, online, and small-group modalities.
