ABOUT SHILOH P. B. CHURCH
In 1907, Little Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church was birthed from the “Withdrawal Act” of the Old Indian Creek P. B. Association. Little Shiloh, along with other area churches, established the Steadfast Indian Creek P. B. Association. God’s people have continued to praise and worship at Little Shiloh for well over a hundred years.
Elder Sandy Betts was the first pastor of Little Shiloh. Under his leadership members met once a month at different homes. Then, around 1918 the congregation purchased an acre of land from A. M. Booth for $150. The members constructed a one-room, backless pew, wood-frame building. The church was lit by three oil lamps and heated with a coal-burning stove. A nearby creek was used for baptisms. Elder Sandy Betts served faithfully until 1928.

The Primitive Baptist Church Covenant
The Primitive Baptist Church Covenant
For as much as Almighty God by His Grace has been pleased to call us out of darkness into His light, and having been baptized upon a profession of faith in Christ Jesus, and having given ourselves to the Lord and one another, in a Gospel Church way, we do covenant together by the help of God:
(1) to be governed and guided by a proper discipline agreeable to the Word of God; (2) to keep up the Discipline of the Church of which we are members in brotherly affection toward each other; (3) to watch over one another and if need be, in the most tender and affectionate manner, to reprove one another; (4) to attend our church meetings; (5) to not absent ourselves from the communion of the Lord’s Supper without a lawful reason; (6) to pay the tithe and give offerings for the defraying of the church’s expenses, and for the support of the ministry*; and (7) to not irregularly depart from the fellowship of the Church, nor to remove to the bounds of distant churches without a regular letter of dismissal and placing it in the Church in which we hold membership.
These things we do covenant and agree to observe and keep sacred in the name of, and by the will of, God. Amen.
