Welcome! 

Located in the Madras community about 6 miles northeast of Clarksville, Texas,  Shiloh Cumberland Presbyterian has served God since 1833.    Jack Holt the Stated Supply, loves his congregation and works hard to lead this flock.   The church family is very active in the community, caring for the sick and needy all over Red River County.     Worship services are warm, inviting and meaningful.    Shiloh is not only the oldest Cumberland Presbyterian Church in the state of Texas, it is the oldest Protestant Church in the state of Texas as well.   The church has a great heritage and is ready to serve God now and in the years to come.   The welcome mat is always out, so come, worship and serve with us.

The following poem was written by J.H. Danall of 2724 Olive Street, Texarkana, Texas and Dedicated to the Vesper service held at “Old Shiloh”,  Sunday, June 4, 1933, the 100^th Anniversary of the founding of  Cumberland First Presbyterian Church “at Shiloh”, Texas

AT SHILOH 

As the sun is sinking in the west,

We pay tribute to those whom God has blest,

At Shiloh

On hundred years have passed since then,

When Godly women and stalwart men

Assembled first “at Shiloh”.

Inspired there to do God’s will

They planned “For Him” as house to build,

At Shiloh.

From north and south our fathers came,

And left behind a noble name,

At Shiloh.

Of that house they built so long ago,

There’s left not a trace to show,

At Shiloh.

But only stones to make the place

Of those who have fallen in life’s race

And sleep “At Shiloh”.

We stand today on hallowed ground,

And view with love each grassy mound,

At Shiloh.

Sleep on in peace, beloved dead!

While breezes whisper softly overhead,

At Shiloh.

For all who wrought so long ago,

Now sleep beneath the sod,

Their bodies mingle with the dust,

Their souls at home with God.
