About Shiloh
A praying church family in Rhode Island
Shiloh Tabernacle International exists so that people can meet Jesus, be formed by Scripture and prayer, and be sent out to love their neighbours well.
Our story
Shiloh Tabernacle International was founded under the vision of Dr. Harriet Wiafe, a vision of a praying, praising, faith-filled family where the presence of God is the center of everything.
Today the Rhode Island congregation gathers weekly in Cranston for worship, midweek Bible study, Friday corporate prayer and the online prayer altar, alongside Shiloh FM 104.3 and the Prophetic Bible School.
TODO (admin): expand this section with the ministry's founding year, milestones and congregations once confirmed by leadership.
Mission
One family, leading people to Christ. We gather people to Christ, ground them in Scripture and prayer, and send them to serve their families, workplaces and communities.
Vision
A church where every generation prays, every member is discipled, and Rhode Island is served with practical love.
Our values
What shapes the way we do church
Prayer first
We pray before we plan. The altar shapes the ministry, not the other way round.
The Word, plainly taught
Scripture is taught clearly and applied honestly to real life in Rhode Island today.
One family
Across nations, generations and backgrounds, we belong to one another.
Care that shows up
Practical love — meals, visits, phone calls, presence in hard seasons.
Discipleship
We help people take the next step, not just attend the next service.
Mission
Local outreach and partnership with ministry work beyond our own walls.
What we believe
Our statement of faith
The Scriptures
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and our final authority for faith and conduct.
God
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity, virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, bodily resurrection and return of Jesus Christ.
Salvation
We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and is a gift that cannot be earned.
The Holy Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit indwells, empowers and gifts believers for holy living and for ministry.
The Church
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to worship, discipleship, fellowship, service and mission.
