Shiloh Baptist Church

About this church

Shiloh Baptist Church is a historic Alexandria congregation founded by formerly enslaved African Americans in 1863. Its mission is to help people become W.H.O.L.E. in Jesus through worship, healing, obedience, love, and empowerment. Sunday School meets at 8:30 a.m. in person and online; doors open at 9:30 for worship at 10, also streamed on several platforms. Tuesday Night Teaching begins at 7 p.m., while Wednesday offers online prayer at 6 a.m. and Bible study at noon. Visitors may wear anything from jeans to a suit and can expect praise, Bible preaching, and a diverse, family-oriented community.

Nursery, elementary, middle-school, and high-school opportunities are offered through the week. Families should arrive early for the safety-focused child check-in system. Children's Zone meets during worship on second and fourth Sundays, while New Era Youth Church meets first and third Sundays. Separate ministry pages describe interactive Bible teaching, worship, fellowship, missions, and partnerships with parents. The church now supports more than forty ministries and continues a long legacy of community service. Outreach includes spiritual, physical, and economic assistance, and the site provides counseling and connection resources. Baptism is practiced by immersion for believers. The current visit page still contains reopening-era language about registration, so guests should confirm whether advance seating registration remains necessary. Accessibility, service duration, childcare ages, worker screening, and Communion frequency are not published.
