PILGRIM CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

In April 1875 the Pilgrim Congregational Church was organized at the home of William T. Ide, Sr.   In 1876 a new church and parsonage were built in the southeast corner of section 32 of Highland Township on the township line between Grant and Highland. It was the first church built in Highland Township and for many years the only country church in the surrounding area. It was also the first church in the township to close. In 1923, the Highland Township church property was donated to the Congregational Church in Creston. The Creston Church had burnt in 1920. This donation of the Pilgrim Congregational Church property helped to finance building a new church in Creston.
