Greetings!

Welcome to the Dyersburg First Cumberland Presbyterian Church web page. Please take time to browse around our site and familiarize yourself with the offerings at Cumberland Presbyterian. Whether you are a longtime member or have never visited us, I hope our website will help you make a decision to join us throughout the week. The doors are open daily for activities ranging from children's activities to support groups and Bible studies.

We are a body of believers with diverse gifts who have a mutual love for God and one another. Our purpose is discipleship through teaching of God's Word, nurture of fellow Christians, service to God's kingdom, and a proclamation of God's sovereignty.

We have a caring, competent, and service-oriented staff who are committed to Christ. Rev. Larry Blakeburn became the pastor of our church on August 1, 2001. Prior to his move to Dyersburg, he was president of Memphis Theological Seminary, our denominations only graduate school of theology. Dr. Blakeburn has over twenty years of pastoral experience having served churches in Fort Worth, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.

Our Youth program is under the leadership of Matt Tyler. With Matt's guidance, we have exciting ministries for our Jr. High and Senior High youth, so your children will have a great time while learning Christian principles. Our youth leaders are skilled at helping young people feel welcomed and loved as well as challenging them to learn. This ministry is a primary strength of our church and continues to expand.

Annetta Camp is our Director of Christian Education. She is responsible for the educational and recreational opportunities for our children and adults. We have excellent nurseries and loving childcare providers at First Cumberland.

Brad Sanko is in charge of our Music Ministry. Our music ministry offers opportunities for involvement in Chancel Choir, Youth Choir, God's Kids Choir, Carol Choir, Handbell Choirs, cantatas, Christian drama productions, and other musical venues.

Janie Canada and Kathy Vickery manage our church office. Those friendly voices you hear when you call the Dyersburg Cumberland Church are indicative of the genuine love of our church. Our office staff members strive to assist everyone with their daily needs and attend to the administrative responsibilities of the church. Moreover, they achieve this monumental task with grace.

Dyersburg Cumberland Presbyterian Church is a friendly, diverse congregation comprised of various age groups, newcomers, and long timers that affirms Christ as sovereign of the church. As we meet with God in worship and extend his love to all persons in the community, we grow in our relationship with God. All persons in church are welcome to share Communion on the first Sunday of each month and at special periodical services.

You probably have other questions, so feel free to call or email us. However, the best way to find out what we are about is to join us at a Sunday morning service where you will find friendly people and a church designed to meet your spiritual needs.
