About This Location
The Leatherwood Church of Christ serves the close-knit community of Slemp, Kentucky, nestled in the heart of Perry County’s Appalachian foothills. This small, unincorporated community embodies the strong family traditions and neighborly spirit characteristic of eastern Kentucky’s coal mining heritage.
Slemp sits along the North Fork Kentucky River valley, where winding mountain roads connect generations of families who have called this region home. The area’s rural setting offers visitors a glimpse into authentic Appalachian life, surrounded by rolling hills and tight-knit neighborhoods where community bonds run deep.
Churches of Christ have maintained a meaningful presence throughout Kentucky’s mountain communities for over a century, emphasizing biblical worship and strong congregational fellowship. The Leatherwood Church of Christ continues this tradition, serving families from Slemp and surrounding Perry County communities including Hazard, Buckhorn, and Chavies.
Visitors to Slemp will find themselves in a region where hospitality is genuine and community connections matter. The area’s mountainous terrain and rural roads reflect the unhurried pace of life that defines much of eastern Kentucky. Those considering relocation should know that Slemp offers the tranquility of small-town living while remaining within reach of Hazard’s amenities and services.
The congregation welcomes both long-time residents and newcomers seeking a church family rooted in New Testament Christianity and committed to serving their Appalachian community with love and dedication.
