Short History: In 1874 African American members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church were organized in their own General Assembly to form the Colored Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Later known as the Second Cumberland Presbyterian Church and now the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America. Several reunion efforts have failed, but in 2012 the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America created a Unification task force to move reunion forward. In 2016 the task force began circulating a plan of unification to both denominations.
