Our History
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded on February 4, 1810, in Dickson, Tennessee. The cabin in the photograph to the right of this text is the original building in which the first Cumberland Presbyterians gathered to worship.
While part of the Presbyterian and Reformed family of churches, we have maintained our distinctive identity for over 200 years. We are governed by a board of elders elected from the congregation. Stone Oak Cumberland Presbyterian Church (SOCPC) is a part of Trinity Presbytery, composed of some 25 churches in parts of Central and Southeast Texas. Our denominational headquarters are located in Memphis, Tennessee.
We have been in the Stone Oak area, just across the street from the Stone Oak Elementary School, since May of 1992 and consider ourselves to be one of the friendliest churches around.
Doctrinal Statement
Our official statement of belief is The Confession of Faith, contained in the book Confession of Faith for Cumberland Presbyterians:
“For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)
