The Wilshire Library provides media resources to support the members and programs of the church.
The ministry of the Library began with its formal opening Jan. 31, 1954. The library has consistently grown and expanded its ministry through the dedicated service of volunteer workers and the generosity of donors who have given books, videos, equipment and furnishings.
The library supports ministries in the church by providing resource support for a variety of ages and stages of Christian education and development. From Bible study research aids for teachers to recreational fiction and audio-visual materials for children through adults, a breadth of enriching resources is available to inspire and promote Christian growth.
The Wilshire Library is accessible to Wilshire members and registered non-members of the community.
