The First Presbyterian Church in McMinnville, Tennessee, also known as Cumberland Presbyterian Church, is a historic Presbyterian church at 205 W. Main Street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]

The congregation was founded around 1839 and its first building, a simple one-story brick building, was built around 1840. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1865. This new church was built on a new site in 1872.

It is a one-story brick church upon a raised basement and limestone foundation. An alcove was added in 1906 and the church was extended to the rear in 1966 with a two-story brick addition.[2]
