The Associate Reform Presbyterians had worshipped in a small house near the site of the Old Shockley's Ferry Church for several years previous to 1859, but about this time they all moved west, with the exception of one family. In 1859 a Baptist church was organized at this place and was known as Shiloh Meeting House. This church was an outgrowth of the Old Shockley's Ferry Baptist Church (organized in 1790).

When Shockley's Ferry was dismissed by the Saluda Association in 1825, because the church and it's pastor believed Christ died for all, and therefore all might be saved, the members joined Mountain Creek, Cross Roads (Starr), and some, under the leadership of William McGee formed Big Generostee and the congregation united with Shiloh Baptist Church which was organized in 1859. It was admitted to the Saluda Association in 1863. Later the church was dismissed to join the New Bethel Association and the Beaverdam Association. (This took place during the years of 1882 through 1914.) Shiloh was re-admitted to the Saluda Baptist Association in 1915.

During the year of 1860 where Sloan's' Ferry and Brown's Ferry Roads crossed each other Shiloh Baptist Church erected it's building. The original building is still in use today.
