The Old Log House

At the home of Rev. Samuel McAdow, he and Rev. Finis Ewing and Rev. Samuel King founded the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on Feb. 4, 1810. An outgrowth of The Great Revival of 1800, the new denomination arose to minister to the spiritual needs of a pioneer people who turned from the doctrine of predestination to embrace the Whosoever Will gospel of the new church. Cumberland referred to the Cumberland region, and Presbyterian described the form of government.
