Our History

Shiloh Baptist Church was organized on July 17, 1899, in the home of Brother and Sister Richard and Eliza Jones at 124 Winyah Avenue, New Rochelle, New York. Eliza and Richard Jones were former slaves who traveled by freight boat from North Carolina to New Rochelle after the Emancipation Proclamation and settled in New Rochelle with their three young sons. In addition to the Joneses, the following people were present at the organizational meeting of the church: Rev. J.A. Sumler, became the first pastor, Rev. Robert Burk who also pastured for a few months and William A Bagley, acting as clerk. This was the beginning of the new church.
