Introduction

 

Church histories reflect the religious, social, economic, moral and educational life of a community.  A Guide to Historic Churches in Cumberland County provides profiles of churches 100 years or older.  This is not a complete listing of our county’s historic churches, only those that chose to submit their history.  Each church is responsible for the authenticity and contents of its history.

Cumberland County’s religious heritage reflects many cultures.  This guide can be used as an aid in understanding different religious groups and cultures that have contributed to the rich heritage of this county.  This publication will also assist our customers with homework assignments, genealogy and other research needs.

For a more detailed look at local church histories, visit the Local and State History Room at the Headquarters branch of the Cumberland County Public Library and Information Center.
