Shiloh Southern Baptist Church

What are services like?
You'll be called to worship with prayer. The congregation participates in hymns and sometimes responsive readings and prayers. Each Sunday's worship is centered around readings from the Bible. The pastor preaches a sermon based on the leading of God. We collect an offering during each service, which is used for the work of the church in the community and beyond. Offerings are completely at your discretion. We close with a hymn and the pastor’s benediction. We partake in Communion every 3 months.

What is the community like?
Welcoming, loving, faithful, helpful, caring, compassionate, friendly. Come as you are you will always be greeted with a smile & a handshake.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Come with an open mind. -Romans 3:23 “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” Romans 3:23 is a foundational reminder that we are all sinners. No one is righteous, no one is good, and no one keeps the Ten Commandments perfectly. Sin is a reality that needs to be presented if we are going to understand the gospel. Everybody is a sinner. Being a sinner separates us from having a relationship with a holy God. -Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 emphasizes the unconditional love of God towards the sinner whom He is willing to save. We were unlovable, but He loved us. We were hopeless, but He gives hope. We couldn’t save ourselves, but Christ could. In our spiritually dead and sinful condition (Ephesians 2:1), God chose to show mercy, love, and kindness to us. -Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 highlights God’s wrath towards sin, His dealings with the unrighteous, and the reality of a literal heaven and a literal hell. Romans 6:23 also includes good news! In contrast to our inability to keep the law of God and our wages earned by sin, God gives the gracious gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ -Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ…” This is really good news! If you are “in Christ,” that means you’ve put your faith in Him, believing that He died for you and rose again from the dead on the third day. Anyone in Christ is not going to be condemned for their sin and will not go to hell. If that’s you, then you don’t need to walk around feeling guilty or shameful over your sin once you’ve believed in Christ because your sin is washed away. -Romans 10:9 “…that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved…” Do you believe that Jesus is Lord? Do you believe He was the Son of God who died for your sin and rose from the dead? Are you willing to confess your sin, accepting the bad news that you are spiritually bankrupt without God’s help? Are you willing to accept the good news that God has made a way for you to have a relationship with Him and be saved from the penalty of sin, which is His wrath? Through faith in Jesus Christ, God’s power can change you. You don’t have to live a life of brokenness and bondage, you don’t have to be hopeless. Jesus can set you free. Jesus can give you hope. The question is often asked, how do I know if I’m saved? The simple answer is that if you have truly believed in Jesus Christ and put your faith in Him, God will transform you. The old ways of sin that you used to relish are going to fade, and the new life you live in Christ will dominate your passions.
