The Cullman Presbyery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church was formed in 1880 as the Springville Presbytery. The name was changed in 1951. It was incorporated into the newly formed Grace Presbytery in 1989.
Initially Cumberland Presbyterian churches in the eastern porition of the Birmingham-area were part of the Springville Presbytery. This included East Lake, Irondale, and Five Mile. Many of these Cumberland Presbyterian churches followed the majority of their denomination into the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. in 1906, forming the Springville Presbytery of that denomination. Later, these churches were reorganized into the Presbytery of Gadsden.
