On January 24, 1891, the adherents of the mission known as the "Brown appointment" unanimously agreed that a church should be built at Carnarvon, and that it be located at the corner of the Peterson and Halls Lake road. The land was donated by Mr. A. Warner. The building was to be 24' x 30' with 12' walls. Several "bees" were held to cut the logs and move them to a sawmill at Buck Slide. The foundation timbers were hewn square with a broadaxe. Numerous teas and concerts were held to raise money for the construction.

Naming of the church was a matter of considerable debate, and it was finally agreed that the place of worship be known as "Zion", being a charge of Lindsay district of the Methodist Church. In 1921 the Methodists and Presbyterians united in the area and Zion became part of the Minden Charge. In 1925, it became Minden, Carnarvon and Maple Lake charge, upon the formation of the United Church of Canada. In 2002 the name of the charge was changed to Highland Hills Pastoral Charge.

The Charge office for Zion United Church and Cemetery is located at Minden United Church, 21 Newcastle Street, Minden, Haliburton County, Ontario.
