This church family has been in existence for many years. Its meeting house was located on the old Bethlehem Cemetery grounds on East Bethlehem Road in White County. In 1994 John H Heisling donated a large tract of land to this church. This 9-acre tract is beautifully situated on the four lane Memorial Highway approximately 5 miles south of the city of Sparta, TN in White County.

In September 1997 the church signed a building contract with J&S Construction Company in Cookeville, TN for the first phase of its building program.  The 6,300 square feet first phase unit had an auditorium with a 256-seating capacity, classrooms, nursery kitchen, and office/library to accommodate our growing family. 

On January 1, 1998 the elders assigned a new designation for this church family - Cumberland Heights Church of Christ.  While the name was new the church continues to embrace the age-old message of the Cross of Jesus. 

The first phase of the building plan was completed in March of 1998. Dr. Steve Flatt, then president of Lipscomb University in Nashville, delivered the dedication sermon.  

The church has experienced substantial growth since 1990 and continues to reach into the lives of families and individuals all around.  

Douglas Downs has served as preaching minister since 1990. 

Topher Wiles has served as family minister since 2025.
