Welcome to The Source

The Source as a congregation was started over 20 years ago as a service for the youth and young adults at Southern Hills United Methodist Church. In March of 2018, Rev. Jill Ruhl served as the launching pastor. Rev. Jill along with faithful and passionate members, worked to grow the congregation and reach the surrounding neighbors. During the pandemic, the church pivoted and services moved online for a short time. New traditions were created and God continued to move in a big way. We still have the livestream today with an online following. In June 2022, Rev. Ruhl retired and Rev. LeTicia Preacely was appointed and currently presides over the congregation.

The Source provides a casual environment to reach those throughout various neighborhoods in Lexington. We believe God extends His grace to all and by faith we are saved. As a church, we seek to make an impact on our community by hosting events, volunteering with the neighboring schools and other organizations and by supporting one another in our faith. Guests receive a warm welcome and there is room for everyone.

In January 2024, The Source became an independent congregation of the United Methodist Church.
