Religious denomination first organized, February 4, 1810, in Dickson County, Tennessee, under the leadership of the Reverend Finis Ewing, the Reverend Samuel King, and the Reverend Samuel McAdow. A spiritual revival in the Southwest in the early 19th century resulted in the separation of the Cumberland Country (Kentucky and Tennessee) revivalists from the Presbyterian Church. In doctrine they are essentially Calvinistic, protesting against the doctrine of reprobation, but recognizing the sovereignty of God and the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. In government they are entirely presbyterian. One periodical is published. Foreign missionary work is carried on in China.
