Mt. Ararat Cumberland Presbyterian Church had her beginning on July 17, 1882 at 5:00 P.M., when Thomas F. McRee and his wife sold 3/4 acres of land for thirty dollars to the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for a church and cemetery.  Reverend B. L. Holder was the first recorded pastor (1903). 
    Reverend Bobby Williams, the present pastor, has served since 1957.  Present elders (1981) are Chesley Cherry, James Lovelace, Haferd Muse, Earl Fields, John Burrell, Darrell Dugger, Bobby Hall and Mike Muse.  Since 1962 full-time services have been held.   A large cemetery is adjacent to the church grounds.
