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!

Foster the City // MAR 11
We are thankful for our partnership and the work that Foster the City is doing in our community for children in foster care to be placed in loving, supportive homes. Through our partnership with Foster The City, we aim to raise up Foster Families and teams of Support Friends to wrap these families with the spiritual and practical support they so desperately need. The Lord is inviting each of us to partner with him in this Gospel work in one of four ways. Would you consider attending an upcoming Interest Meeting to learn what these four ways are? The next Foster The City Interest Meeting will be here at Wilshire Avenue on Monday, March 11th from 6:30-8:00 pm. Dinner will be served and you will hear about all the ways to get involved and make a difference for God’s Kingdom.

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.
