On Wednesday evenings during the school year, Wilshire offers an exciting program of music and missions for children ages 3 through 6th grade. A delicious dinner buffet is offered in Community Hall from 5 to 6 p.m., and then children are dismissed to classrooms for music programs and missions education from 6-7:15 p.m.
Children begin in their choir classes, listed below, and conclude with Globetrekkers, our children’s missions’ education program. All children are welcome at any time during the year.

We also offer two handbell choirs, one for beginners and one for experienced players, for children on Wednesday evenings from 4:45 – 5:20 p.m. Contact Sarah Stafford about joining a handbell choir.
In addition to special holiday events, Music Makers sing in worship at least twice a year and the Young Musicians lead in worship more often.
Globetrekkers learn about different cultures, mission opportunities, and the CBF missionaries who serve locally and globally. They are also invited to participate in several age-appropriate mission projects throughout the year. Each grade level attends their own Globetrekkers class.
Our 4th – 6th graders earn points during the year through attendance and other music and mission opportunities to go on a weekend retreat in the spring that includes a mission project, fun bonding time and singing in a mission church.
