Our Approach
Good food and familiar faces - that is exactly what a family dinner is all about! More importantly, it is exactly what God has in mind for our Cumberland Church family. The table provides a central location from which we can all find the nourishment we need, but it also serves as a platform from which we can offer goodness to others. This is central to our being. To maintain it, we must commit to 4 keys:
- Love People One at a Time
- Feed People the Word of God.
- Connect People to God Through Prayer and Worship
- Motivate People to Serve.
At the table, we can all give and receive, serve and be served, love and be loved - by means of a gracious God who generously provides for us all.
