Our Ministries

Here at Shiloh, we have many groups (a group is a precursor to a ministry, so it doesn’t have an elected leader or a core team) and ministries to allow our members to connect and participate in the church’s growth both within itself and within the community. Every member should have the chance to serve within a group or ministry and we have many to choose from. For questions about joining a ministry please call our main office 907-276-6673  or send an e-mail.

Our women’s ministry help women EXPLORE, become EMPOWERED, and ENGAGE in Christ and the biblical purposes of the church. Women aims to welcome women with open arms, connect them to God and others, equip them to live out God’s purpose for their lives, and send them out to share Christ’s love with their communities and the world. Through healthy small groups, authentic mentorship, and outreach opportunities, Shiloh Women seeks to ignite passion for the Great Commandment and Great Commission in the heart of every woman.

At Shiloh, we fully believe that God has fearfully and wonderfully made each and everychild (Psalm 139:14) and that they are His workmanship (Eph. 2:10). Our goal is to partner with families to give our children a solid spiritual foundation, based on God’s Word. We are committed to equipping the next generation to know Christ and to be transformed by Him (Ps. 78:5-7).

Shiloh’s Youth & Children’s Program will focus on Spiritual Growth. We will follow safety protocol and reset our programming as we move forward this year.

We want to help you connect your story to others.

Evangelism and Missions receive a high priority at Shiloh and are critical outreach ministries for our church. Our goal is to mobilize church members for person-to-person witnessing to unsaved and unchurched friends, relatives, acquaintances and neighbors. This goal also involves strategies for bringing people to church, getting them to return and become involved in ministry, presenting the salvation message, encouraging personal decisions for Christ and growing in the faith.

First Impression Ministries exist to ensure that a safe and distraction-free environment is maintained for all members and guests attending regular and special services. The First Impression Ministries provides the liaison between members and guests and medics and lay minister as needs may arise. The Service Ministries Teams plan for all regular and special services. This planning includes policy and procedures, training, recruitment, internal traffic flow, evacuation, safety, and security.

Our mission is to continually lead people into a new or growing relationship with Jesus Christ through the use of our technology tools and technical gifts by creating an excellent spiritual and technical atmosphere. These two fundamental elements are what we focus on continually. We will seek how to best serve every ministry with our technology in a manner that is helpful and not hindering to accomplish this mission. Please see Rev. Taylor for more information.

The Senior Pastor provides general watch care and oversight. He continually evaluates the ministry of the church and reviews major ministry decisions and strategic initiatives. He has the ultimate responsibility and authority to use his wisdom, discernment, and shepherding gift to ensure the church remains on a true course biblically, that itsmembers are being appropriately shepherded, that the body is being fed through insightful and accurate biblical teaching, and that the life of the church is being well managed with the assistance of other competent and godly leaders. The senior pastor, in addition to his shepherding role, is primarily responsible to be a teacher of the Word of God and providing strategic leadership and vision to the body.

The Dance Ministry is a life-giving expression of worship through movement. The ministry will not only be a place to come and dance, but a community of learning dance technically matched with the anointing the Lord has placed in each person to exude excellence and bring a fresh perspective to the facet of ministry. It will offer classes for youth and adults and the training will consist of biblical principles whereby the understanding of dance as a ministry is realized and actualized.

Our mission is to disciple couples toward maturity in Christ.  A significant part of this ministry is done in and through small groups.  We call men and women to the process of maturing in Christ, as evidenced by the fact that they: The Couples Ministry concentrates on four major areas of emphasis:

Provides quality food and hospitality in support of the ministry of Shiloh. For those with the gift of cooking and hospitality, it is an opportunity to display your culinary skills, along with the gift of serving, to ensure the success of ministry events. Serving in this ministry requires a deep commitment and a heart to serve others. The Word reminds us in I Peter 4:8-10 that “above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift we have received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in various forms.”

Discipleship = Growing in Christ

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Bible tells us that Jesus’ disciples “devoted themselves to His teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). Those who knew Jesus continued to learn, teach, pray, and mentor one another so that their faith would take root and grow to maturity.

Jesus does not want our relationship with Him to be limited to membership in His family. He has given us tools and means to learn about His life and how we should live, and communicate with Him so that our relationship with Jesus will grow in maturity over time For us today, the Bible itself is a textbook for the Christian life.

Prayer–simply talking to God and listening for His response–is also available to us.

Studying the Bible is the key to living a victorious life and walking in God’s blessings. Our spiritual growth classes are a fun and exciting way to know and study God’s Word with other people who are just like you! We were never meant to stay at the same place as we were last year. We have classes for kids all the way up to seniors where they can grow and become all that God wants them to be. Increase is God’s desire for us outwardly and inwardly. As you spend time in fellowship through prayer and His Word and grow spiritually, every aspect of your life is affected in a positive way.

Strengthen your faith, and gain knowledge of who God is and who He says you are by attending worship, and by joining any of our Sunday Morning and/or Wednesday Night Prayer and Bible study groups. These groups are designed to meet you where you are in life. Whether single, married, or just starting out in your Christian walk, a group that best serves your needs is available Sunday Morning or Wednesday Night.

Wednesday Night Prayer @ 6:30 PM

We Believe in the Power of Prayer The Bible says the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective, yet something extraordinary happens when two or more agree together in prayer. In Matt. 18:19, Jesus said, “If any two of you agree touching any matter on this earth, it shall be done.” We pray together on and believe that God is going to move mightily in our lives as others around us pray in agreement with our requests! Our Wednesday Prayer is a time, when you can bring your prayer, a nd needs to share with passionate prayer warriors, who are also your sisters and brothers in Christ. It is the time for the Shiloh Family to pray for and with one another. Whatever your prayer burden is, whatever your praise may be this is a time you can pray and be prayed for. God says in Psalm 91:15 When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them
