Our Story

In 2012, a group of pastors and members from Sovereign Grace Churches began praying about the possibility of planting a church together. As we sought the Lord for direction, Louisville, Kentucky emerged as the ideal city. It had the benefits of other like-minded churches we could link arms with, a seminary that would complement the training of our Pastors College, and a more central location from which to plant other churches.

So that year, about 45 adults and children set out to church plant in East Louisville. Our first public meeting was September 30, 2012. Since that time, the Lord has faithfully grown SGCL and built a wonderful church family. Along the way, we have known the joy of sending out church planting teams to both Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and Fayetteville, Arkansas. After almost ten years of meeting in rented facilities, we now know the joy of owning our own building in the heart of Middletown.
