Shiloh Baptist Church

About this church

Shiloh Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, worships on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 5500 Scovill Avenue, with Sunday School beginning at 9:00 a.m. Services are available in person and through a livestream, YouTube, and Facebook, with a Zoom link and call-in number for those joining remotely. The congregation was founded in 1849 and describes itself as the oldest African American Baptist church in the city. Its historic building, a former synagogue, is recognized as a national and Cleveland landmark.

Beyond Sunday morning, the church lists a Touch and Agree prayer call on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. and a virtual Bible study during the week, so check the website for the current day and time. A food distribution takes place on the fourth Saturday of each month, and the church has hosted a soup kitchen and food pantry for decades under the name Shiloh Shares. The congregation also operates a nonprofit arm, the Shiloh Ubuntu Community Collaborative, which works on health, well-being, and economic stability for residents of the Central neighborhood. Seasonal events, such as a pop-up Vacation Bible School, appear on the events page. Visitors can reach the church office by phone or email, and should confirm service times on the church website before attending.
