We aren't sure how the church got here, or who built it yet. We are working on finding that information. If you have any
information we can use, please email me! Until then, here's some photos from the past. Est. 1835.

| Up until 1998, "Hickory Ridge Church" was known as "Hickory Ridge Fellowship Chapel". |
| Hickory Ridge Fellowship Church A tribute to it's 70th Anniversary, April 28, 1905 by W.H. Evans Fellowship has met to honor The great day when she was born, When Christ's Spirit fell upon her And He claimed her as His own; Seventy years she's stood the battle Against Satan and his hosts, Seventy years she's held this castle With her soldiers at their posts. Very few of all who founded Fellowship are here today, But on Zion's walls are mounted Sons and Daughters for the fray; Volunteers for Christ our Saviour Rally to their Captain's call, Fellowship has never wavered Seventy years on Zion's wall. See the gospel banner flying "Peace on earth, good will to men." Satan and his hosts defying Just as bravely now as then; Fellowship is our foundation Love and charity for all, Heir's of Christ's great mediation All who hear the Savior's call. Those who've crossed o'er Jordan River Fellowship in worlds above, And are praising God the Giver Of all pure and perfect love; "Dust to dust," all that is mortal Silently beside us lie, Seventy years this yawning portal Teaching us we too must die. Labor on ye Christian people Shout Christ's praises ever more, Ring glad tidings from this steeple Ring it for the golden shore; Hallelujah, glory glory-- Fellowship's great natal day, Seventy years we love the story We've been marching on the way. The composer of this poem, Doctor W.H. Evans died in 1914. He was the grandfather of Richard and Leora Campbell and Mrs. Nellie Campbell-Martin. Dr. Evans was well known in Huntington Township where the church is located. He was also a correspondent for the weekly Ripley Bee. ---Submitted By: Mrs. Daisy Downing, Ripley, Ohio |
