History
Founded in August 2004 under the name "Heartland K10 Lawrence", services were originally held in a variety of rooms on the University of Kansas campus, primarily attended by students. After out-growing space available to campus ministries on a weekly basis, the ministry moved to the Lawrence Arts Center, then to its current location at Central Junior High School (formerly known as Liberty High School, built after World War I), where attendance is currently between 250-300 on a weekly basis. The church changed its name to Vintage Church in the Fall of 2006.
Vintage Church was originally a church plant of Heartland K10 (now known as 'Redemption Church', currently located in Olathe, Kansas), which was established by Pastors Kevin Cloud and Tim Suttle. Heartland K10 planted Vintage Church with the hope of establishing a church with similar values as its own in the Lawrence area. Redemption Church itself is a church plant of Heartland Church in the Kansas City area.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
