What Events and News Are Available at Wilshire Baptist Church?

Wilshire Baptist Church (wilshirebc.org) lists upcoming events and current news updates on its homepage, covering service opportunities, weekly gatherings, and community announcements. If you're deciding whether to visit or get involved, the events calendar and news section are the fastest way to see what's happening and whether the timing fits you.

Upcoming Events

The site's "Upcoming events" section lists the following, each with a "View Detail" link and options to share via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or email:

A "SEE ALL EVENTS" link points to the full calendar. When no events match the current filter, the page displays "No event found!"

Weekly Gatherings (Recurring)

Beyond one-off events, the homepage outlines the regular weekly rhythm, which is useful if you're planning a first visit:

Sundays

• 9 a.m. — Chapel Worship
• 9:45 a.m. — Sunday School for all ages
• 11 a.m. — Sanctuary Worship
• 11 a.m. — Livestream (with a "Watch now" link)

Wednesdays

• 5 p.m. — Dinner
• 6 p.m. — Faith formation for all ages

The site frames this with the invitation: "Come on a Sunday. Come on a Wednesday. But above all: come as you are."

News & Updates

The "News & updates" section carries short posts, described as usually updated on Fridays. Recent items include:

• Visioning Survey — an online survey from the Visioning Team, noted as taking about 15 minutes, with a stated deadline of Sunday, Sept. 20.
• Preparing for Worship — a reflection piece (attributed to James Dolph) tied to a specific Sunday.
• Staff transition — Ralph Manuel stepping down from his role as handbell coordinator at the end of September, with recognition during worship on Sept. 27.
• Volunteer recruitment — a post encouraging members to try a committee or service team.

Each item has a "read more" link for the full text.

How to Use This If You're Deciding Whether to Participate

• If you want a low-commitment first step: the Wednesday dinner and faith formation, or a Sunday service, are recurring and open to all ages.
• If you want to serve: the Blood Drive and the committee/service team post point to hands-on opportunities; the site also has a "FIND OPPORTUNITIES" link under its missions and advocacy section.
• If you want to weigh in on direction: the Visioning Survey is time-limited, so check the deadline before it closes.
• If you just want to watch first: the 11 a.m. Sunday service is livestreamed.

For anything beyond what's summarized here — exact locations, registration requirements, or whether an event has changed — use the "View Detail" or "SEE ALL EVENTS" links on the site, since those pages carry the current specifics.
