REV. WILLIAM J. WALKER, 1863 - "These brethren, who have been driven from their homes and scattered among strangers, long to be gathered into a church that may worship God unitedly as they formerly did.”--

The building was 52' by 99'.
REV. J. ANDERSON TAYLOR, 1890. -- "I cannot feel otherwise but that the Lord directed their efforts, and then the manner in which the members received me when I was up there won my affections."
REV. JOHN MILTON WALDRON, 1912 -- “The early friends of the Negro grasped the true solution, which is that his needs and possibilities are the same as those of the other members of the human family; that he must be educated not only for industrial efficiency and for private gain, but to share in the duties and responsibilities of a free democracy; that he must have equality of rights, for his own sake, for the sake of the human race, and for the perpetuity of free institutions.”
Shiloh's hearing impaired congregation was founded in 1917.
REV. DR. EARL L. HARRISON, 1942 -- “The success of Shiloh cannot be told by counting noses and dollars. Its finest accomplishments have not been written with pen and ink on paper, but rather they have been written in the hearts of the many thousands who have drunk at its ever fresh flowing fountain of Spiritual water, and who have eaten at its ever full table of the Bread of Life."

REV. DR. HENRY C. GREGORY III -- “Historically, the stable and continued existence of the black church in America was in itself a facilitator of the trust necessary to motivate and sustain the interest of blacks in their priorities can concerns for the community. The universe of the church was coterminous in its boundaries with the universe of the black population. The church fostered leaders for many generations, and this in itself was a creative encouragement to black persons who sought to become actors and participants in the liberation and empowerment of their communities.”
