| Marker Text |
This congregation grew out of a Sunday School organized in 1889 by Mr. and Mrs. Andy J. Chambers. In 1891, an official Cumberland Presbyterian church, known as the Tabernacle Church, was organized with 13 charter members. During its early years the congregation was closely associated with the Taylor Street Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Following a move to Cannon Ave. and Hemphill St. in 1898, the church adopted the name Cannon Avenue Cumberland Presbyterian Church, but has been known by its current name since 1906. The congregation has met at this site since 1909. (1985) |
