Eulogizing and Officiating at Funerals
At Shiloh Baptist Church, we believe that eulogizing and officiating a funeral is a sacred pastoral responsibility and a privilege of the pastoral office. In keeping with this belief, all funerals held at Shiloh will be preached by the Senior Pastor or by a minister designated by her.
We understand that, at times, the deceased may have had a close spiritual relationship with another pastor. In such cases, we welcome the opportunity to honor that connection. Should the family wish for that pastor to serve as the eulogist, the staff of Shiloh Baptist Church will gladly facilitate a respectful dialogue to explore the possibility of hosting the funeral at that clergy person’s church, where they may preside fully.
Our desire is to serve grieving families with compassion and integrity, while upholding the sacred order of the pastoral role within our church community.
