Pastor Barry Wilson

A Man of Vision:

In 1984, God called Barry to pastor Hilltop Baptist Church. With only 22 people in attendance at his first service, he envisioned Hilltop growing into a vibrant, mission-minded church. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, plus the wisdom and power of God, Barry set out to …

• Strengthen Hilltop in their desire to serve the Lord
• See lost souls come to Christ and discipled in the Lord
• To establish other Bible-believing, gospel-preaching churches across Ohio, throughout the United States, and around the world.

Now, more than 35 years later, the church's attendance has grown dramatically. Dozens of lost souls have changed their dark destiny by trusting in the Lord Jesus as Savior, and lots of new believers have been baptized.

Hilltop has started three churches from members within its own congregation and has helped start over twenty more in Ohio and across the U.S.

Missions is an integral part of the Church’s ministries. We not only support missionaries in the United States but around the world, as well.

God has truly blessed Hilltop Baptist Church and Barry’s mission, which is to draw each church member closer to the Lord Jesus and see each individual become a beacon of light to a dark world.

Barry’s greatest desire is to glorify the Lord in all he does.

Even now, Barry envisions HBC becoming a greater impact on the local community and a light to the field God has given them. His current vision is to see Hilltop raise up godly young men from within the congregation, so God will use them to start new works. By giving young preachers an opportunity to preach and teach and share God’s gifts with others, Barry is training young men in the ministry.
