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 is in need of critically important interior repairs and renovations, which will enable us to better serve as an ongoing beacon of hope for all who are in need of Christ’s love and grace.
