THREE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF CHRIST
Pictured at the “gala” celebrating our 170th anniversary, June 7, 2024, are the Rev. Larry Haun, recently retired pastor of Fredericksburg Baptist Church, the Rev. Aaron L. Dobynes, Sr., pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) since 2014, and the Rev. Lawrence A. Davies, who served as pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) from 1962 to 2012.

Sadly, Rev. Davies died on August 11, 2024. Video of his memorial service can be found on our “Funerals” page. A PDF copy of the funeral program can be viewed by clicking here.
RESTORATION OF THE JOHNNY JOHNSON MURAL
Several years ago, a large mural honoring artist and deacon Johnny P. Johnson was painted on the side of a building on Sophia Street, not far from our church building.
Unfortunately, the mural soon began fading due to the nature of the surface on which it had been painted. More recently, the original image was repainted, using a new, more permanent surface that was attached to the side of the original structure. This newly restored image was “unveiled” on Saturday morning, July 13, 2024.
Among those in attendance were Fredericksburg’s mayor, Kerry Devine; Johnny Johnson’s son, Deacon Shelton Johnson; Johnny Johnson’s granddaughter, Jada Johnson; and our long-time church member, Ambassador Pamela Bridgewater (retired).
Like Christ, we at Shiloh Baptist Church (Old Site) in Fredericksburg, Virginia, strive to be God’s “living word” in a hurting world. Like Christ, we seek to extend an inclusive embrace to those who have been beaten down, pushed aside, or locked out. Like Christ, we try to serve as Spirit-led agents of God’s healing power and transforming love.
Visitors and guests are always welcome.
Please note that we primarily enter and exit through a recessed glass door that is just a little to the left of the double red doors that face the sidewalk.
Our sanctuary is on the second floor. After entering through the glass door, you can turn to your left and ride up on our elevator. Or you can turn to the right and walk up the main double staircase.
Although the wearing of face masks is optional, some of us do wear masks when we’re together in the building. It’s a way of protecting and caring for each other, knowing that Covid and other diseases are often spread before we know that we’re infectious.
