Siloam Baptist wraps up yearlong 200th anniversary celebration

Leaders and members of Siloam Baptist Church in Marion continue to showcase a resiliency and determination for how God will use them going forward, despite economic and population uncertainties in Perry County.

They are looking with anticipation for what’s next, and historian Elizabeth Wells is determined to bring the church’s recorded history up to date and be ready for what comes next.

‘I believe’

During a special service Jan. 22, guest preacher Thomas Fletcher challenged the members.

“What kind of future are we praying for? Does this church believe there is a future for Siloam Baptist Church, for Perry County?

“God’s left us to prepare, invest and disciple,” he said. “If you don’t believe God can do something with the Black Belt, I know my Savior and I believe.”
