From the time the first few families gathered to worship together in 1818, Shiloh United Methodist Church has been blessed with the dedication, generosity, and foresight of its members.
In over 200 years of faithful existence, our members have built a succession of church building and additions to be a home to our congregation and all of our significant ministries. Our members have built a faith community of worship, community outreach, and mission support. Significant gifts have been given by members and their families and friends to ensure Shiloh can continue to glorify God, develop disciples of Jesus Christ, and change the world for many generations to come.
The Endowment Committee manages our 4 Major Endowments to ensure that Shiloh is blessed with all the resources necessary to seek and share God's gift of oneness. We also make sure that all gifts received for the endowments are managed in accordance with the wishes of the donors.
