Our Story

How it all started...

Shiloh Baptist Church exists to encourage all people to pursue a lifelong, fulfilled relationship with Jesus Christ. Our history dates back to the spring of 1860, when a small group of committed Christians decided to plant a church in western Johnston County. 

Expanding the vision...

We envision a place where people can begin and build a deep relationship with Jesus Christ and with fellow believers, where people do life together in genuine community, and where people grow spiritually in an atmosphere where the grace of God is highly celebrated.

Where we are headed...

We desire to be a church where real problems are solved and real needs are met as people are drawn closer to God, where people recover from things that prevent them from enjoying meaningful relationships with God and each other.

We desire to be a church where God’s Word is honored as our highest authority on earth and as the source of real and abundant life. We desire to be a church where people serve one another according to the way that God has shaped them, where spiritual gifts, passion, talents, and experiences are a part of how we meet the needs of others inside and outside of our church family.

We desire to be a church that matters to its community, that makes a visible, noticeable, and tangible difference on behalf of Christ in the real problems that exist. We desire to be a church that celebrates changed lives, that cultivates an atmosphere of freedom to grow and serve, and that empowers people with the confidence to do so.
