Wilshire Avenue TNT Fireworks Fundraiser // July 1 – July 4
We are excited to announce that we will once again be having a TNT Firework Fundraiser!
Why a Firework Fundraiser?
This year we will be raising funds for our “NextGen” ministries as we raise money for our new Student Center as well as scholarships for summer camps for our student! What an exciting opportunity to be able to support the final stages of finishing up our new Student Center where hundreds of students will have an opportunity to find Jesus and discover what a life with Him can mean. Our Student Ministry continues to thrive and the Student Center (opening later this summer!) will be an incredible place for students to gather and connect with each other and grow in their faith.
A portion of the proceeds will also provide scholarships for summer camps. Now you can enjoy watching your 4th of July firework show and know you helped send a student to camp when you purchase your fireworks at our location.
Why Wait? Purchase Your Preseason Voucher below!
Bring your preseason voucher email confirmation to our fireworks stand during July 1st to July 4th to receive credit towards your purchase of merchandise. This is a great opportunity for your students to raise money for Summer camp, or to help fundraise for the Preschool or After School Day Care programs! For every $20 voucher they sell, they will get $10 credit for camp or towards the designated program. The vouchers are only good at our stand! Please make sure to put your student’s name under the Program designation box. Online vouchers close on June 27th!.

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.
