Our Mission
Come Explore - Forward Looking - Broad Spirited - Compassion Driven
Cumberland First Baptist Church is a community of faith united in exploring what it means to follow the way of Jesus Christ, to be a people of God and to love and care for our neighbors and the whole created order. As a church we will recognize no circles of exclusion, no walls that separate, no boundaries that can't be crossed and no loyalties above those which we owe to God.

Food Pantry
ABY (American Baptist Youth OR Alliance of Baptists Youth) a group for middle school and high school young women and men.
Our youth group occasionally meets for fun activities such as lock-ins, Indians games, swimming, canoeing, assisting with activities for younger children, group volunteer for local non-profits, raising funds for and walking the CROP Walk, and a lot of other things as well.
We have fun together, explore our faith together, and sometimes just chill together. Sometimes ABY is a program, sometimes just laid back conversation, other times we are up and doing things. ABY... is us together. Want to join us?
Community Outreach Ministry Eastside (COME) began in 1988 as an outgrowth of the food pantry at Cumberland First Baptist Church. Today ten area churches are united to sustain this local outreach ministry, reaching out to the financial needs within our community.
COME is designed to assist with utility bills, rent and mortgage payments, referrals to other agencies and of course, food. The ministry acts as a referral agency, working in tandem with area township trustees, to get clients headed in other directions where they might receive assistance that COME is unable to provide. Average total assistance is in excess of $40,000.00 annually.
