Caveland Church was founded on July 5th, 1994. Sammy Hunt was elected as the Senior Pastor. The church began meeting in a tobacco barn in Barren County with 33 members. On September 4th, 1994 the church leased a storefront on Broadway in Cave City and on January 8th, 1995, Caveland purchased two acres of land at the edge of Cave City on highway 90 for future building. The land was paid for in full on August 15th, 1995.
On June 25, 1995 Caveland Church leased an abandoned church building and grew to approximately one hundred people. On May 25, 1997 Caveland purchased an additional acre of land for future building, making a total of three acres. In 1999, Caveland Church began the groundwork for a new sanctuary; that same year, the leased building was placed on the market. Caveland purchased the church building, despite already starting the groundwork on the purchased land.
In December of 1999, Pastor Sammy Hunt accepted the pastorate of another church. After his resignation, on Jan 16th, 2000, Pastor Chad Hunt (his eldest son) was elected as Senior Pastor. The church continued to grow in membership, and soon the church averaged over one hundred twenty people each Sunday. During this growth period, Caveland eventually purchased approximately ten acres of land. In 2006, Caveland built a new sanctuary and presently reaches over five hundred people in average attendance, in a community of sixteen hundred people. God is good…all the time.
