Beliefs & Core Values

What We Believe

This Statement covers the core elements of biblical teachings that we believe and teach here at Cumberland. However, it does not completely cover all our beliefs. The Bible itself, as the inspired and infallible Word of God, is the final authority concerning truth, morality, and how we are called to live our lives and is the sole and final source of all that we believe.
