Who We Are:

First Presbyterian is an established community partner with its roots being traced to 1802. First Presbyterian is fortunate to have a beautiful facility dating back to 1871 and located in Cumberland’s historical district.

Our membership consists of people from varying backgrounds including: medical, legal and academic professionals, government employees, artists, musicians, computer experts, home schooling parents, and active retirees. About half of these members are local natives.

In addition to our secretary, our staff consists of Director of Christian Education, Melanie Ogu, with 15 years experience since receiving a Master of Christian Education/Church and Community from Scarritt College, and Director of Music, Judie Brown, who received her Master of Sacred Music Degree from Union Theological Seminary and has had 25 years of experience.
