Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America
[3] Relations between the two Cumberland Presbyterian groups have for the most part been very cordial, and many of the CPCA ministers have trained at Memphis Theological Seminary.A reunion attempt on the part of both denominations failed to win approval in the late 1980s.The joint committee drafting the plan of union agreed and made such a stipulation in its reporting to the General Assembly.There are 153 congregations, which are organized into 15 presbyteries and four synods, in Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas and Illinois.[4] Membership is primarily concentrated in Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas, but the church extends north to Cleveland, Chicago, Oklahoma, Detroit and Marshalltown, Iowa.
