Vine Grove Methodist Episcopal Church, South was founded in 1881. Property was purchased from Mr. and Mrs. S.L. Moreman. The first church building was used for approximately seventy-five years. In the early 40's the building was turned around to face High Street. Ground breaking for the present structure was on June 19, 1955 with the first service on November 18, 1956. In 1968, the name was changed to the Vine Grove United Methodist Church.
We celebrated our centennial in 1981. Our church has served this area for over one hundred years through its fellowship and outreach ministries. Some of these include United Methodist Women mission support, Camp Loucon camperships for area children, meeting space for Girl and Boys Scouts, support for Kentucky Homes for Children and Youth and many other opportunities for outreach, highlighted by sending a Mission Team to Costa Rica in October 2002.
An important part of the history of our church involves the sending out of several persons in ministry. Michael Deaton currently serves as a pastor in our Annual Conference while Lee Ann Young Johnson is an ordained Deacon serving in nearby Lebanon Junction with her husband Calvin.
In 2016, Vine Grove United Methodist Church committed to making some notable renovations and changes in the way in which it shares in ministry.
Completed in the Fall of 2018 is our facility improvement plan which included renovations to our sanctuary, our fellowship hall, and replacements to our heating and air system, as well as our windows. Come and see our beautiful look inside our sanctuary, as well as the new, nice cafe-style renovation of our fellowship hall.
