Shiloh Baptist Church, located at 1210 South Eugene Street in the Warnersville neighborhood of Greensboro, has a founding date of 1892. Originally, the church was located in the basement of Trinity AME Zion Church. The current location has a cornerstone dated 1973 and identifies Otis L. Hairston as the Pastor at the time. They have a very detailed history online (see HERE).
This church is a community resource for the historic Warnersville neighborhood. Warnersville was a planned, African American neighborhood that was established just after the Civil War.
“Shiloh” is a word of Hebrew origin, meaning “tranquility,” “peaceful,” “rest,” “abundance,” and “his gift.” If was a gift for us to see this beautiful building against that rich blue sky.
Happy Sunday!
