CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

The Associate Reform Presbyterians had worshipped in a small house near the site 
of the Old Shockley's Ferry Church for several years previous to 1859, but about 
this time they all moved west, with the exception of one family.  In 1859 a 
Baptist church was organized at this place and was known as Shiloh Meeting 
House.  This church was an outgrowth of the Old Shockley's Ferry Baptist Church 
(organized in 1790).

    When Shockley's Ferry was dismissed by the Saluda Association in 1825, 
because the church and it's pastor believed Christ died for all, and therefore 
all might be saved, the members joined Mountain Creek, Cross Roads (Starr), and 
some, under the leadership of William McGee formed Big Generostee and the 
congregation united with Shiloh Baptist Church which was organized in 1859.  It 
was admitted to the Saluda Association in 1863.  Later the church was dismissed 
to join the New Bethel Association and the Beaverdam Association.  (This took 
place during the years of 1882 through 1914.)  Shiloh was re-admitted to the 
Saluda Baptist Association in 1915.

    During the year of 1860 where Sloan's' Ferry and Brown's Ferry Roads crossed 
each other Shiloh Baptist Church erected it's building.  The original building 
is still in use today.

    It was decided in 1972 to build an educational building.  Shiloh broke 
ground for the new building on November 13, 1972.  The building was completed 
June of 1973.  This was done under the leadership of Reverend Ray McDowell.  
Reverend McDowell was pastor from 1971 through 1975.

    Under the leadership of Reverend Bob Philyaw a new addition for the 
baptismal pool began in 1993 and was completed in 1994.

    On April 4, 1999 under the leadership of Pastor Billy Ray Whitfield, 
sanctuary renovations were completed and dedicated on this day.

    Under the leadership of many fine men of God and because of the commitment 
and dedication of the many strong Christian men and women of this church, Shiloh 
Baptist Church has persevered through many struggles.  Always and because these 
people put God first and be the focal point in all that is done.  Though small 
in number Shiloh has stood strong in service to the Lord, and with his guidance 
will continue to do so for many years to come.
