The
Jefferson Circuit was first mentioned in Church history in 1811. The
Church at Jeffersontown was part of this circuit. Jeffersontown United
Methodist Church, therefore, is one of the oldest Methodist churches in
Kentucky. The first pastor assigned here was Charles Bondwell in 1811.
Bishop Asbury wrote in his memoirs that he preached in Jeffersontown on
October 20, 1812.
