UPDATE MAY 14 2020- Exciting Announcement

We are happy to announce that we will return to in-person services on May 31, which is Pentecost Sunday.   This decision was made under counsel from Pastors, Elders, and key Leaders with much prayer. We know it will an amazing celebration when we get to see so many faces we miss and worship our Lord together!

We will slowly re-open every ministry using a phased approach. May 31 will be part of Phase 1 of three phases.  In broad strokes, Phase 2 will see additional ministries resume in-person meetings and Phase 3 will mean all ministries resume activities.  Every phase will unveil modified safety measures that will ensure you and your family can freely worship.  To do so, we will follow CDC, White House, and the AZ State Governor’s guidance for reopening the state. 

Phase 1 will include the following measures:

• There will not be children’s ministry nor nursery. Plan to have your children with you in the service.
• We ask those of you who are in at-risk groups, such as the elderly (65 or older) and those who are immune-compromised to stay at home. If you feel that you are not ready to return, please do what you need to do.  While we would love to see your faces and reconnect, we completely understand your concerns.
• We will continue to livestream our services.
• It is our priority to maintain safe practices. We respectfully ask you to refrain from hand-shakes, hugs, or any other contact at this time.  
• All the chairs in the sanctuary have been re-arranged allowing 6-feet between families.
• While not mandatory, we highly encourage all to bring your own face mask or covering. We will also have some on hand for those who do not bring one.
• Beginning with the parking lot, we are going to have volunteers provide guidance. We will leave every other space open to maintain safe distances.
• In addition, we will post important information throughout the facility, our website, and on social media to ensure everyone knows what they can and cannot do at this time.
• Finally, if you do not feel well or you have come in contact with someone who may possibly be infected, we ask that you stay at home for now.

We will also be having a training and orientation session for volunteers on May 24.  You will be contacted by ministry leads if you need to be at the church on this Sunday. 

We understand many of you have questions and concerns.  To address them, we will have a question and answer session for those who want to join us on social media (FB, YouTube, and our webpage) so that we can address any questions or concerns you still have.  We will hold it during our normal prayer and worship time this Friday, May 15th at 6:30pm.

We are thrilled to resume our in-person services and we know you are too.  It will be a wonderful celebration.  Please continue to pray for all necessary preparation.

In Jesus, 

Pastor Erick and Raquel Villalvazo

Hello Shiloh family!

Raquel and I just wanted to let you know that we miss seeing your smiling faces, your hugs, your laughter, and all the things that make Shiloh special. Connection is so important to the body of Christ and it is a priority for us. 

Over the years, our database of contacts, which includes members, regular attendees, visitors, and those who may no longer attend Shiloh, has grown quite a bit! In our effort to stay in touch with everyone, our Connection Groups will be taking a portion of our list and will be contacting those on their portion of the list. We do not want anyone missed who needs connection during this crucial time.  So you will be getting a phone call from someone soon. When you are reached, please let us know how you are doing and what we can do to help. Let us pray for you! If anyone would like to be removed from our contact list, this is the time to let us know.  We do hope you are still part of a faith family wherever the Lord has you.

We want to remind you that we will be holding our Good Friday service at 6:30pm and Resurrection Sunday service at 10:00am and you can join us through our Livestream options below:

One last thing Shiloh Family, continue to shine the light like you have been and reach out to someone you have not seen or heard from in a while. I know that if you pray, the Holy Spirit will remind you of those that are needing a loving “touch” today.

In Jesus,

Pastor Erick & Raquel Villalvazo

Dear Shiloh Family:

You are loved! You are highly favored! You are God’s children!

Philippians 4:7 says, “and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

We are praying that you have His peace and a strong assurance to call on Him. As promised in Proverbs 18:10, “His name is a strong tower and the righteous run to him and are safe.”

Be encouraged that He is on the throne and nothing can separate us from His love!

Pastor Erick Villalvazo is now our Full Time Pastor!

Erick joined the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Training Battalion in 2002. Prior to that, he had graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Arizona and worked in manufacturing for 5 years.
He become an Instructor Operator for the Shadow 15W MOS where he eventually become the course manager. His last assignment was as a course manager for the UAS Unit Commander and Staff Leader Course.

But he always felt the call to pastoring and to do so full time.
After 18 years God released him to leave his federal job to become Lead Pastor full time at Shiloh.
This is very exciting for both his family and for Shiloh!!

Pastor Erick and family thank you for your amazing support and prayers!
