Shiloh exists by the grace of God for the glory of God, which shall be the ultimate purpose in all its activities. Shiloh glorifies God by loving Him and obeying His commandments.
OUR MISSION & VISION
Mission Statement:
We are the people of God, called together to be the Body of Christ, inspired by the Holy Spirit: to proclaim God's will, to love one another, to be instruments of salvation- preaching, teaching, worshiping, caring, sharing, growing and giving service through community outreach.
Leading families out of crisis to Christ, bringing them together around the Word of God and equipping them with spiritual morals and values.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, Shiloh's mission is to Recruit, Equip, and Deploy witnesses for Christ.
Starting with the mission to recruit, equip and deploy, Shiloh's church ministries will examine their practices, motives, and outcomes with a determination to work within their own capacities toward the same ultimate goal of being the voice, hands and feet of Christ.
Ultimately we want to be students of Christ who use our understanding to make meaningful, transfomative changes in our own lives, our homes, our neighborhoods, cities, and the world.
