A – Arts and Education

Shiloh has a passion for the Arts and Education. The Woodson Family Life Center will provide an expanded forum where Shiloh can showcase and cultivate an appreciation of artistic expression in a safe and nurturing environment. Education is also a key focus for the church. For Shiloh youth, the church facilitates a scholarship program awarding educational grants each year and acknowledging the academic successes of our children with gifts.
