One Big Give

One reason to believe in Cumberlands. Give day is November 12. Show your support by donating HERE

Let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth.

The University of the Cumberlands strives to be an institution that consistently puts faith into action.  Our faith is demonstrated through humble service to our local community and the Appalachian region.  Just as Christ modeled and encouraged servant leadership, UC inspires and equips students to do the same through various ministries and outreach activities.

I love seeing God work in ways I never imagined. It's one of the greatest blessings I've experienced.
