Southland Christian Church (Lexington, Kentucky)

It is one of Kentucky's largest churches, averaging over 12,000 in attendance per weekend in 10 services - two in Nicholasville, two in Lexington, two at Danville, two at Georgetown and two at Richmond.

The church has several ministries, including Helping Through Him (an on-site warehouse at the Nicholasville campus), care, outreach and creative arts.

The founding pastor, Wayne Smith, came from Unity Christian Church (near Cynthiana, Kentucky), and held the first service with 172 people in attendance.

Mike Breaux, pastor of Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas, Nevada, was invited to preach as a guest.

Jon Weece joined Southland as a teaching pastor in 2000, sharing in the responsibilities of a church with six weekend services.

After a building program that reduced the weekend services from six to five, Breaux moved to Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois, in 2003.

In 2015, Southland began holding services in Georgetown, KY at Lemons Mill Elementary.
