Our Pastor Pastor Charles J. Ivy accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at age 13. He was baptized at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Waukegan, Illinois, where his uncle, Rev. Bruce Ivy, served as pastor. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Ivy united with Shiloh Baptist Church of Waukegan in June 1974 under the late Rev. J. N. Lightfoot. He was crowned a Deacon in June 1987. Several years later, Pastor Ivy became Chairman of the Deacons and earned his certificate to teach Sunday School. On August 28, 1994, following the path God had chosen for him, Pastor Ivy accepted God’s call and was licensed to preach the gospel. Early on, he completed multiple volunteer training programs for grief and bereavement, including Victory Hospital and Hospice Alliance. On April 13, 1997, he became an Ordained Baptist Minister. He was appointed to the position of Assistant to the Pastor here at Shiloh in 1999. He entered the Seminary at Northern Baptist Theological in 2004 and received his Master of Divinity degree on June 5, 2010. I believe God has prepared me to serve him in many ways 'as a good servant of Jesus Christ'. He was called to Faith Baptist Church in South Bend, Indiana to serve as Pulpit Spiritual Leader in 2017. In December of 2018, Faith Baptist Church moved to accept Minister Ivy as their new Pastor. There, he provided pastoral care, support, and various responsibilities, utilizing the gifts God has given him. On April 30, 2021, the Shiloh Family called Pastor Ivy to become the 15th Pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church of Waukegan and Pastor answered the call on May 3, 2021. When speaking about his roles as Pastor, Ivy believes "God has prepared me to serve him in many ways 'as a good servant of Jesus Christ'. In the words of Apostle Paul, 'My speech and my preaching [is] not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that [the people's] faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God' (1 Cor. 2:4-5 )". Pastor Ivy resides in the Lake County area with his wife, Shirley, of 39 years. Together, they have two wonderful children, Cedric (Anissa) and Alicia (Damon). They enjoy spending quality time with their family and creating new memories with their granddaughter, Riyah.

Our Beliefs We Believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and inerrant in the original writings. We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. We Believe that the lost and sinful man must be saved, and that man’s only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We believe in and practice the holy ordinance of water baptism, which signifies the believer’s death, burial, and resurrection into new life with Christ Jesus, and the regular celebration of Holy Communion as commanded by our Lord. We Believe in the present ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the unsaved; those that are saved into the resurrection of life and those that are unsaved into the resurrection of damnation. We Believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mission The mission of the Ordered Steps Praise Dance Ministry is to praise, worship, and bring reverence to the Lord our God through dance. It is the objective of this ministry to use dance and movement for the intent of glorifying and honoring God. Not only through our praise but also in our walk, our study, and in our worship, as praise dancers, we are committed to our calling to magnify and praise the name of the Lord through dance. Vision Our vision is to minister to God’s people and offer to God a holy, acceptable, and uninhibited praise, through which, the love of Jesus is seen through our expression and God is glorified and praised. We seek to usher in God’s presence, serve Him with love and joy, and make His praise glorious in such a way that allows others to give God glory and praise Him continually. Psalms 150:1-6 Praise the LORD! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament! Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness! Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! NKJV
