About Our Church

About the Cumberland Presbyterian Church

Talbott Cumberland Presbyterian Church is located at 7410 Andrew Johnson Highway at the Hamblen Jefferson County Line. This location puts us at the heart of the Holston Valley and is short drive from all the communities in the Lakeway area. We are especially convenient for those who live in the western Morristown area and in Jefferson City and of course the community of Talbott. We are also only few minutes away from the communities of Alpha, White Pine, Dandridge and New Market. However, we have people that travel from Knoxville to attend our church on a regular basis.

We are a family oriented church with activities and learning opportunities for all ages.

Our church participates in various forms of ministry and outreach in the Lakeway area and at the national and international level through our affiliation with the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.

About our Pastor

Our pastor is the Rev. Richard Reid. Rev. Reid, a Birmingham, Alabama native, came to us in 2007 after having served churches in Birmingham and Gadsden, Alabama as well as in western Tennessee. He is a graduate of Bethel University; McKenzie, Tennessee and Memphis Theological Seminary. He has more than 25 years of pastoral and pulpit experience. He and his wife Donna and their children reside in Jefferson City. His sermons are dynamically presented, Biblically based and Holy Spirit led. We are sure his message will bless you and we hope you will take the opportunity to worship with us and hear the message.

Together Calling People to Christ

What is a Cumberland Presbyterian?

People often think that Cumberland is part of the name of the local church. However, Talbott is one of many Cumberland Presbyterian Churches throughout the world.

The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded in 1810 in Dickson, Tennessee as an outgrowth of a revival movement called the Second Great Awakening. Variations of beliefs and practices caused a group of ministers and churches in what was the Cumberland Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church to become separated from the main Presbyterian body.

We believe and practice a WHOSOEVER WILL doctrine; that is, whoever would seek after Jesus Christ may know Him and be saved.

Cumberland Presbyterians believe that the Bible is the Infallible Rule of Faith and Practice for all believing Christians.
