Giving at Wilshire

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.

So, whether you are a soon-to-be mom, first-time mom or seventh-time mom, you are welcome!
