Assessment

Highland BIC is a rural Brethren in Christ congregation in southwestern Ohio under Pastor Harvey Bowman. The Miami County area has long-standing Anabaptist roots, and Highland provides BIC witness alongside Mennonite and Quaker congregations in the region. Sunday worship at 10 AM. Yellow rating reflects BIC denominational caveat on women in ministry; local male leadership and Anabaptist accountability balance the assessment.
