About Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church
All Are Welcomed! Come as you are!
In the year of 1970, the Reverend George W. Hampton, Sr., attended the first service at the Church on the Green on Elm and Temple Street. As he sat in the service near the Reverend Forsberg, he said to him, "I must go to my own church." He got up and left for Shiloh. As he entered the church, he went to the altar and the Spirit of the Lord said to him, "Have a service in your own church and invite all people, black, white and others to attend."
Our Founder
Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church was organized on May 25, 1965, with the Reverend George W.
Hampton Sr, as Pastor and Founder. The church began in the home of Mrs. Eleanor Cox at 752
Dixwell Avenue, here in New Haven, CT. The church was later named "Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church."
The grand opening service was held on the second Sunday in June at 220 Bassett Street in New Haven. God continued to bless Shiloh and on November 3, 1968, we marched from 220 Bassett Street to our current location 100 Lawrence Street. Shortly thereafter, we became "Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church."
