What You'll Find at Cumberland

Grounded in the biblical principle that nothing "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ," we at Cumberland First Baptist, strive to be open to all people who desire to explore a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or status. We celebrate God's grace and hospitality with all who come here. We extend our hand through:

Acceptance: We are a safe place for you to ask deep questions and to explore diverse views of faith. You need not check your brain at the door.
Relationships: We are a community of faith where all of life can be fully shared.
Participation: We offer opportunities for you to engage in ministries that fuel your passion and make a difference.
Worship: We intentionally design worship to enable you to have intimate encounters with the Living God.

We are a people, guided in faith and action by core convictions. Among these are:

The Gospel of God's love for each and all, and our charge to love God and our neighbors as ourselves.
The Bible, our compass which, interpreted through reason and experience in the context of community, points us toward the true north of faithful living.
The Baptist Freedom Principles which insist on every person's and congregation's freedom and responsibility to determine their own place to stand in faith.
The ministry of reconciliation in a world of divisions and violence. We strive to live at peace with God, ourselves, our neighbors, and the whole created order.
