We have a dedicated vision and
commitment to serve God by supporting these ministries.
Our congregation has a group of very gifted individuals
who are faithful to the call to serve in the name of
Jesus Christ. The ministries at UCPC (Union
Cumberland Presbyterian Church) have been
developed to nurture all in spiritual growth and provide
opportunities to serve.
Bethel College is the only
Cumberland Presbyterian College
anywhere, and it’s important to us that
you know what they’re all about.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
Church believes that the reason
they exist is to glorify God and to
enjoy the Lord forever. Glorifying our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is not just
a task that should be restricted to one
area of our lives. At
BethelCollege, they strive to
help students obtain their educational,
religious, physical, and social goals in
a Christian environment. -

with prisoners in need of salvation then
you qualify. If you are interested and

No child ever chose to live in poverty.
These are the "innocents." They are not
responsible for their family's reduced
circumstances, yet they must live each
day of their young lives in ways that
most of us would find appalling and
unbearable.
The Angel Tree attempts to bring some
sunshine into their dreary lives at
Christmas time - a time when every other
"good little boy or girl" they know
receives a visit from Santa Claus. The
Angel Tree provides much needed clothing
items, special needs gifts and other
wished-for toys to Knox County's (and
surrounding metro area) neediest
children. These gifts in truth
give poor children "food for the
soul"-the hope of a brighter future and
the reassurance that someone does indeed
care about them.
