History
Hiland is grounded in a rich history of faith that is moving us into the future. It all began in 1799 when supply minister Mr. Stockton of the Ohio Presbytery preached at “Ye Olde Highland Church.” Our history includes worship in an open-air tent, supply ministers, musket-bearing men guarding against Indian attacks, and families traveling on horseback or walking great distances. Today we benefit from the faith and perseverance of our forefathers and mothers, and continue to carry that tradition into the future. Stop in our Library to enjoy the many pictures and memorabila on display.
The first “church” was a tent, then a log cabin, and in 1836, a building. An addition to the sanctuary, dedicated in 1914, provided Sunday school classrooms, kitchen, Sacristy, and bathrooms. A new educational building and fellowship hall with state-of-the-art kitchen was completed in 1954. The Hiland campus is spacious and always busy with our many programs and outreach ministries that continue to grow out of our dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Old Perrysville School
Old Perrysville School was built in a corner of Hiland Cemetery, c. 1836. It was a two room school house. Many Hiland family ancestral names are on the back of these pictures, given to us by Ruth Faulk Dodds, age 104, native of Perrysville. Her parents are buried at Hiland. In the 1901 picture are the children who were there (the next year) when the Biddle Boys came through in 1902. Ruth’s mother, Estella Beuerman (Faulk) wrote about the Biddles. The father of former Hiland pastor, Rev. John Mark Scott, was teaching there then.
