SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH was incorporated on September 12, 1916. The first Pastor, Rev. Sturevant, began the ministry with his first members in a barn located in a section of Port Norris.

In 1923, a strong Deacon Board and a Mother Board were established. It was expressed by the late Rev. O.L. Stanley, Mrs. Jamison and Mr. Noah Collins that a place of worship was desired in the sparsely settled community, and the first building was erected in 1920 with the help and generous contributions of Josiah and Daniel Newcomb.

Since Shiloh’s existence, there have been many great Pastors with Visions. They are Rev. Sturevant, Rev. Williams, Rev. Moore, Rev. Harris, Rev. Holly, Rev. J. Donaldson, Rev. S. Donaldson, Rev. Johnson, Rev. Whitfield, and our present Pastor, Rev. Dr. James A. Dunkins.
