Leadership

Alex and Eridania Soler, along with their two amazing boys, Jacob and  Joshua, planted Vertical Encounter in Waukegan, IL, in 2015 with just a few people in a living room to now becoming a multisite church in the Chicagoland area (Encuentro Vertical in 2019, and North Chicago campus in 2022). They are passionate about "Reaching people far from God to help them move from belonging to becoming." Alex and Eridania started the Go Multiply Network to develop local leaders to help multiply the kingdom of God, specifically in distressed urban and suburban areas of concentrated poverty and low income. They are committed to coaching and mentoring church planters and multipliers through CMN and various Assemblies of God districts/networks. In 2019, they announced the Church of Today Project, which combines their passion for kids and expertise in education to help launch Hope Homes, which concentrates on educational and mentoring programming with a foundation of biblical discipleship for underprivileged youth.
