is a Presbyterian body formed during the Great Revival of 1800.
The revival caused disagreement within the Presbyterian Church (USA) both over the mechanics of the revival and over allowances the pro-revival faction was willing to make in order to secure ministers for its rapidly expanding following.

The Cumberland Presbyterian Church denomination was founded in 1810 in Dickson county, Tennessee (near Nashville), by a group of Presbyterians who were heading west to settle the frontier.
Born out of the early 1800’s Great Revival with a desire to go out and reach all that need Christ, the denomination has retained that “whosever will come” approach to evangelism and outreach.
The denomination has approximately 670 congregations worldwide, with ministries in 18 countries. The largest concentration of churches is in Tennessee, followed by Alabama, Texas, Kentucky and Arkansas.
