Expanding Worship and Community Outreach

Shiloh Temple House of God in Cleveland, Ohio is a church offering numerous services for its congregation and the surrounding community, including after-school programs, summer youth programs, food distribution, and healthcare guidance in partnership with nearby hospitals. Some 40% of neighborhood residents live below the line.

NEED

Shiloh’s congregation was outgrowing its building both in membership numbers and in community services. They needed space for a growing congregation to worship and help the neighborhood.

CALLING

The congregation’s dream was to build a bigger facility next to the current building to house a much larger sanctuary and allow them to continue offering critical services to the neighborhood.

God Math

Thanks to Cornerstone Fund investors, a loan of $5,215,000 helped Shiloh Temple House of God build the new facility – which boasts a large sanctuary, library, and offices. The old church building was transformed into a banquet hall and rooms for community and church use.

“(The Cornerstone Fund) understood where we were coming from….It was absolutely wonderful working with them and I would recommend them to anybody.”

— Apostle Steven L. Best, Sr., pastor of Shiloh Temple House of God.
