Est. 1784

Our History

Over 240 years of faithful worship in the heart of Kentucky.

Salem Presbyterian Church at Pine Grove was established in 1784, making it one of the oldest continuously worshipping congregations in Kentucky — over 240 years of faithful gathering to worship.

The congregation began in a log building located off Basin Springs Road. As the community grew, a brick building was constructed nearby. In 1870, the congregation built the sanctuary that still stands today at 312 Combs Ferry Road in Winchester, Kentucky.

Through generations of families, seasons of growth and change, and more than two centuries of Sunday mornings, Salem has remained a place of worship, fellowship, and belonging for the people of this community.
