Wilshire Baptist Church

Wilshire is a thoughtful and thought provoking community of faith that tries not confuse the will of the majority with the will of God. Wilshire is a safe place to ask questions. There are great Sunday School and choir options for all ages.

Our son's closest friends are kids he met at Wilshire but the reason why I'm excited to go church every Sunday (for the first time in my life) is because the sermons remind me of my best professors in college. You didn't mind waking up at 8:00 AM because you were going to be challenged mentally and learn something new. I'm proud to also say that we attend a church that welcomes everyone because everyone deserves to be loved.

Since joining Wilshire, this is the first time in my life that I've looked forward to attending church every week. I always feel that George Mason's sermons speak directly to me and give me a renewed sense of hope. I leave feeling challenged to be my best, both for myself and for the community around me. We're thrilled to call Wilshire home.

We joined Wilshire a little over a year ago because of this faith community’s commitment to inclusion of all. We love our church’s opportunities to serve in many many places both within the church and in the community. Our church is not a place of “just talk “ about loving people but a place of action where members serve such people as domestic violence survivors, hungry children, refugees, victims of pay day lending and education and schools. And Wilshire is a place that celebrates beauty, art, music and drama. The “Wilshire Way” of doing things is unique, refreshing and open to all. It strives to reflect the love of Jesus both inside the church walls and out.

My family has attended WBC for a couple decades because it is small enough where we know a lot of people but big enough that we're always meeting someone new on a different faith journey. I like hearing about other people's views and find it refreshing that this church lets you think about things and consider there might be shades of gray but that God loves you through the process. Also, my adult kids have returned to this church, as shown by the church's young adults who went to State Fair last year together.
