The Siloam Baptist Church congregation was established in 1822. The current brick Greek Revival building was completed in 1848.
It is considered by Baptists in the state as one of the most important mother churches of many Alabama Baptist institutions and churches. Members of this church were instrumental in establishing both Judson College in 1838 and Howard College, now Samford University, in 1841.
