In May 1866 a 75 x 275-foot parcel of land was purchased on Coit St. for $195.00. In August of the same year the first building to be known as Cumberland was built. By 1869 membership had grown to four hundred twenty nine (429) and continued to grow at a rapid pace.  Within four years membership nearly doubled to eight hundred twenty five (825). Because of the rapid growth, additional land had to be purchased. The additional 75 x 300 foot parcel cost the church $100.00. Around 1908 a decision was made to build a new church. Funds where raised and work on the new church began. The building was completed in 1911. In 1924 a stately (Moeller) Pipe Organ was installed. In 1954 an additional building (The Hut) was erected to provide a place for members to meet and dine. Later the church added an Education building with many classrooms and a bigger dinning hall. The last building to be constructed was the Outreach Center located at 408 Kemp Street. It was completed in 1994.

Today, under the leadership of Dr. George A. McClenan, Cumberland is a sprit filled church where the word of God is preached for the sanctification of the people of God.
