A walk around the Cumberland

The first major change happened in 1917. The congregation decided to bisect the building and add a cross-gable section in the middle. A basement was also added. This is how we found it in 2018.
History was made on Wednesday, April 27, 2023. With a fresh coat of paint and new hand-cut cedar shingles, the steeple was raised to its original spot atop the Cumberland. This truly historic event wouldn't have been possible if not for YOU!
Gary Goby inspects details of the gable. His donation of talent and time included duplicating details and supplying materials.
Jody and Emma ready their paintbrushes!
After many days of cleaning, priming, and painting by volunteers, the details speak for themselves.
Restored steeple and components.
TGC Structural mounts the cupola to the steeple, which itself was mounted the day before.
