Cumberland Presbyterian Center: The denominational headquarters of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church located at 1978 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, since 1951. Funded through a denomination wide campaign in the late-1940s, the Center building is an impressive and architecturally interesting neo-gothic structure. The Cumberland Presbyterian Denomination's seminary, Memphis Theological Seminary, is located less than a mile away. The construction of the Center, and the consolidation of board and agency offices in Memphis, marked the end of a long period of recovery for the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination after the ravages of the partial union with the Presbyterian Church (USA) in 1906.

At the meetings of their General Assemblies in 2005 and 2006, Cumberland Presbyterians voted to either build, purchase, or lease a new denominational headquarters.
