The Methodist Episcopal Church South in Greenup, Kentucky, is a historic church on Greenup's Main Street. It was built in 1845 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It was deemed notable "as good example of the sensitivity of the church congregation to the changing national [architectural] styles. A Greek Revival church building was updated in the 1870s to the Gothic Revival style."[2]

The church was built in 1845. It was modified in 1876, including by the addition of a square bell tower.[2]
