Hillside Church opened on 18 November 1877 as a branch of the Scarboro Circuit of the Methodist Church of Canada to meet the religious needs of the rural community. The community of Hillside was closely associated with Malvern, Highland Creek and Cedar Grove in Markham. Despite the vibrant community, the church was never formally given a post office designation.
On the fence in front, is a sign with moveable tiles that indicate when the next service will be held.
The Scarborough Historical Society has erected a plaque in front of the church detailing its history. More information can also be found at the Scarborough Archives website listed below.
