Christmas at Wilshire
Join us as we celebrate the birth of our Savior!
Christmas is a season filled with hope, love, and joy—a perfect time to share the good news of Jesus with those around us. Who are the friends, family members, coworkers, or neighbors in your life who would be blessed by hearing this incredible message? Studies show that many people would attend church if someone simply invited them. Let’s use this opportunity to show love and invite others to experience the hope we have in Jesus.

We are passionate about sharing this message with our communities and with the next generation. Your giving helps transform lives and helps make a difference!

Bible Memory Flashcard // TMS
Growth is Our Goal – Memorize God’s Word As Pastor Rob mentioned, If you want to memorize Scripture but aren’t sure what to memorize or how, the Topical Memory System is a great way to begin your journey to store God’s Word in your heart. It’s simple and easy-to-use — and will help you memorize key verses that point to basic truths and important instruction.
The TMS focuses on how to live a life of Christ-focused, assured discipleship, and the TMS: Life Issues focuses on significant, relevant issues that face us on the road through life, such as anger, dealing with sin, suffering, and knowing God’s will. Link Here
Get Connected to a Life Group
Our Life groups at Wilshire Avenue are a great way to get connected and grow together with others in your journey with Christ.

We will begin sign ups on Sunday, August 28th and we encourage you to stop by the Start Here booth on the plaza to meet some of the leaders and sign up for a group. You can also sign up at www.wilshireave.com/groups!

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.
