Anniversary napkins printed for the 150th Anniversary of Shiloh Christian Church. The text reads
The original church founded at Shiloh in 1875 was called The Church of God in Christ before becoming Shiloh Christian Church. Thomas B. Johnson donated the land to build the church on, the Montgomery Family the wood, and Jasper Bryant the carpentry.

The wooden church burned in 1951 and was rebuilt in 1952 and remains the oldest active church in Adair County.
Christa Montgomery Gimbel, whose father was a native of the Joppa community of Adair County, hosted an event that celebrated not only her ancestor, Francis Montgomery, Sr., but also included the 150th anniversary of the church.
