In 1972, MCC began with a Bible study in the home of two lesbians. The group grew to a point in 1974 and began renting worship space from the First Unitarian Church. In 1975 Rev. Anne Keast and Rev. Sandy Taylor were called as Co-Pastors. In December of 1985, the church burned to the ground. The Unitarian Church and MCC Louisville lost everything material, but the churches were alive and well. Our church adopted the slogan "When you've got nothing left but God, you've got enough to start again." The shadow box in our Hall of Honor houses our cross and two chalices, which were the only remaining artifacts from the burned rumble. The Unitarians gave us $1000 to purchase new communion vessels and a cross.

After the fire, we took up residence at the Comm Ten Center (a GLBT Community Center). We remained there for six months until we were offered worship space at Christ Church' Cathedral. We moved there in 1986 and remained there for one year. In 1987 we moved back to the CommTen Center. The Center was sold in August of1988 and MCC Louisville had grown to a point of purchasing its own building. We moved into our first building in October 1988. We grew steadily and were able to pay our building off in six years. In 1994 we knew we needed to move and expand our ministry.

In March of 1996, Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church contacted us. They had a church to sell in the Highlands and they knew were looking to expand. We had a trial service the first Sunday in June, our closing service in our old building on June 29, and our Opening Service "Under New Management" in our new building on July 6. We continue to grow today in this building.

Presently our church continues to grow in membership and ministries. Our outreach includes providing support and space to various community organizations and support groups. We remain true to our calling to bring the Good News of an inclusive and loving God, not only to the GLBTI community, but also to the community at large and the world.

Other nearby MCC's include those in Elizabethtown, Paducah, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
