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.

Family Christmas Service

Wednesday, December 18th @ 6:30 PM

Christmas Eve Services

Sunday, December 24th @ 3:00 PM & 5:00 PM

Giving

The act of giving changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift, His son Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. 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! You can give to God at  wilshireave.com/give by clicking on the button below.

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

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.
