CHURCH ST. CPCA

Church Street was established in 1874 as the first black Cumberland Presbyterian church in the nation and one of the first established black churches in Huntsville, Alabama. In spite of many obstacles, the church grew rapidly because it provided for a religious and social stabilizing strength in the community. The early church was characterized by its spirit of caring, sharing, and outreach to its members and the larger community. Because of its size and influence, it was commonly referred to as the "Mother Church" in the General Assembly. The church's name has evolved from the "First Colored Cumberland Presbyterian, to "Second Cumberland Presbyterian" to "Church Street Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America."... Church Street CPCA aspires to live faithfully, peacefully, and lovingly; growing through change and spreading the gospel to the world,
