The Methodist Church in Glendale was organized as an independent congregation in the year of our Lord 1882. Before that year, the founders of the Glendale Church worshipped at The Old Stone Church in Star Mills, Kentucky.

The Old Stone Church at Star Mills was built around 1824, according to local historians, with stone furnished by the Morrison family. It was known as the Union Church in the early days and was used by all denominations.

In 1868, a Mr. John Jenkins donated land for a school building and the Glendale Christian and Methodist Churches. A one room log school house was located in front of the present day Christian Church near the Glendale-Gilead road. In that year, the Methodist and Christian congregations shared the school house for worship services. They each had their own church services and met once a month.

In May of 1885, a lot was purchased where the present day Methodist Church now stands. The members proceeded rapidly in constructing the church building, and on the fourth Sunday of November 1885, the Church was dedicated by then Bishop H.C. Morrison
