JOIN US ON SUNDAY MORNINGS
At 10 a.m. each Sunday morning, we invite you to join us in person or on-line for a service of worship. Most Sundays, the service includes a time of music, scripture reading, a sharing of announcements about upcoming events and opportunities, and a message from Pastor Aaron L. Dobynes, Sr.

HELP OUT AT OUR MORNING COMMUNITY BREAKFASTS
In cooperation with Micah Ecumenical Ministries, Shiloh Old Site provides a free breakfast for individuals in the community every Wednesday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Anyone interested in a nourishing meal is welcome. Volunteers from the congregation cook, serve, and greet our honored guests. Anyone interested in serving as a volunteer is invited to contact the church office at 540-373-8701.












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.
We offer both an in-person and on-line service each Sunday at 10 a.m. Either Pastor Aaron Dobynes, Sr., or another minister provides a biblical message. Also included in the service is an abbreviated time of prayer and scripture reading, accompanied by some music and community updates.
Visitors and guests are always welcome.
Please note that currently 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.

TODAY IN HISTORY
In a world that too often pursues lies and seeks to enforce its own self-serving illusions, God’s people must lift up the truth, lest we be numbered among that “rebellious breed” that has “eyes to see but sees not” and has “ears to hear but hears not” (Ezekiel 12:1–2)

Welcome to a spiritually empowered haven of hope
Since 1854, we at Shiloh have tried to manifest the spirit of Christ, faithfully serving others as God’s liberating and transforming word. We’re located at 801 Sophia Street, on the river in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401.

Our historic building on the river in Downtown Fredericksburg has been in need of critically important exterior repairs and renovations, protecting our ability to serve as an ongoing beacon of hope for all who are in need of Christ’s love and grace. The cost of this year’s work is likely to be in excess of $175,000. We invite you to contribute to this project. You can make a pledge of support by clicking here.
