Need info on Cumberland Presbyterian churches

[kricket777]

I went to church for the first time in a long time this morning. Me and my girlfriend chose to go to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church here in our area. I liked the church for the most part in terms of the service and people.

What information can you tell me about this church? Is it the same as most other Presbyterian churches or is it different in some way. I tried reading their statement of faith but it was very basic with no explanation to why they believe what they believe.

Just looking for some that are part of this church or know information about it to further my knowledge.

In Christ,

They are apprently very influenced by Arminianism in their theology, and seem to like to describe themselves as being at an "in-between point between Arminianism and Calvinism. I pretty sure that they deny limited atonement, and I think they deny irresistable grace and unconditional election as well. They don't seem to hold to any of the historic Presbyterian creeds of confessions either.

Other than that, they seem to be conservative on issues such as biblical innerancy and obviously follow a Presbyterian form of church government.
