First Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized on May 30, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky. It had 25 charter members. The first services were held in an Evangelical Church until an upstairs hall was rented at 28th and Grand. In 1943, a basement building was purchased, and a new building was begun in 1949, with a total of 163 members. In 1954, several members were dismissed to begin the Hillview Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
In 1958, the property was sold to the Ebenezer Baptist Church and a new site was purchased, at 4610 Manslick Road. First services were held in the new fellowship hall in July, 1960. Plans for a new sanctuary were soon developed and construction began in 1969. The new building was dedicated in February, 1970.
