Shiloh Baptist Church

Shiloh Baptist Church is a religious congregation in the city of Stallbrook, first mentioned in Peri's Bliss. Conservative and fundamentalist, it is initially led by Pastor Nate Roth, who founds the "Citizens Concerned" group to protest the emergence of the Free Spirit Local Gathering through pickets, leafleting and appearance on talk radio. Roth's arrest on sexual assault charges leads to his stepping down, and the more moderate associate minister Jeff Palmer replaces him. The church sponsors Free At Last, a ministry for women leaving the commercial sex industry led by Sue Billings, but given Stallbrook's atmosphere of de-facto decriminalization and the more successful work of the Jezebel Project, this effort has little success. Later, members of Shiloh Baptist help to form the North End Alliance for Truth in an effort to stop the birthing of a new Local Gathering in the city; the Alliance fails to accomplish its goal, especially after Palmer denounces some of their more extreme tactics.
