Kids 4 years old through 5th grade. Our goal is to have children grow in their faith and it all can happen at the Best Week Ever. This will be a week full of games, songs and activities that your children will love. The theme is “Make Waves” and it’s all about confidence. The kids will learn that they are known, they belong, they are forgiven, they can change and they can make a difference.

Park Clean up at Byerrum Park // JUN 12 @ 3:00 PM

We have been going as a larger group to clean up once a month at Byerrum Park on the corner of Chapman and Raymond and it has been a great opportunity to love and bless our city.  During the next few months of April and May we are unable to go as a large group because they are using the fields on Sundays for soccer.  If you as an individual or family are able to go on your own at your convenience and help to pick up trash at the park that would be wonderful.  If you do go, please send me an email at bryan@wilshireave.com to let me know you went so I can let the city know.

Colombia Church Plant

God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.

Parents, if you’ve ever wondered what your children are learning on Sundays we want to introduce you to the Parent Cue App. The Parent Cue App is directly linked to our Sunday WA Kids curriculum so you can stay in the loop with what they’re learning.
