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.
Man Camp // Sep 29 – Oct 01

So grab a couple friends or your whole church and we’ll provide the bacon! More Information to come. Register Here

The Book of Revelation Bible Study // SEP 10
Sundays // 9:00 AM
Are we in the last days? Does what the Bible say about the end and are we seeing those events unfold before us? It seems to me that most of us stay away from the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible because it is just too hard to understand. This book talks about God’s judgment upon mankind. It talks about an Anti-Christ, the return of Jesus and the 1000 year period where Jesus will rule on Earth. The book ends providing us with hope because there will be a new heaven and earth.
If you would like to intelligently interpret the signs of the times or just become a better student of the Bible, come Sunday mornings at 9 AM in Room 304 starting September 10th.
We will also talk about the Rapture and the Tribulation period. This class will be an analytical approach to these things. We will look at what different theologians believe about these things. This will be a 12 week study looking at the 22 chapters in Revelation. The book of Revelation begins with a blessing for those who read the words of this prophecy. So If you want that blessing or you want to better understand what the Bible says about the last days, come. If you want to be a better student of the Bible, come. If you want to learn how to read and study the Bible, come.

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.
