History

BRIEF HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND CHURCH

Just as Jesus is irresistible, the local church should be irresistible. Our desire was to create a church that would be people’s number one option on Sunday morning; first, because of what we do and ultimately because of what we believe. 

The vision for our church took shape in the summer of 2006 when a process started with staff members of other North Point Partnerships about starting a church in the Nashville Area. After much prayer and wise counsel, they became convinced of God’s leading to start a strategic partnership of North Point Community Church (Alpharetta, GA) in the Nashville area. The church launched with a staff team of three families committed to the mission of leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. 

On February 11, 2007, Cumberland Church held its first service at the Marriott Hotel in Franklin, TN. Shortly thereafter, the church found a new home at The W, a private concert venue in Franklin. Then, in September 2007, the church moved again to its current 24/7 facility at 415 Franklin Road, Franklin, TN.  With God’s clear leadership thus far, we are excited to what He continues to do through Cumberland Church to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
