Eastside purchased the Anaheim site for $20 million. It expects to make $25 million to $30 million in improvements, Appel said.
The new church will incorporate some Boeing history, including keeping two existing buildings totaling 250,000 square feet.
A six-story office building will remain on the campus to be leased out for office space and a restaurant. The campus is also set to include a large, outdoor plaza and a garden area for prayer and reflection that will be open 24 hours a day.
Eastside sold its Fullerton property for $16.6 million to Dongshin Korean Presbyterian Church, which will occupy the site after Eastside moves next year.
Instead of a traditional groundbreaking ceremony, Eastside will hold a service on the grounds of its soon-to-be home – at 2330 Miraloma Ave. – at 10:30 a.m. Sunday. The public is invited.
Appel said the service also will kick off Eastside's 50th-year celebrations. At least 11 founding church members are scheduled to attend.
