Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity….. Psalms 133:1

The Upper Cumberland Association is made up of 40 churches. Many of our churches are small congregations through out Harlan County. There are 5 of our churches that are known as full time and the other 35 are known as Bi-Vocational, this simply means that 5 have pastors that work only in the church and that 35 work in the church as well as hold down full time jobs outside of the church.
When you serve as a Bi-Vocational pastor you will be "burning the candle at both ends" from early morning to many times late at night. Our Bi-Vocational pastors work as School teachers, Rail Road Engineers, Mechanics, Coal miners, Bus drivers, Insurance Agents, Carpenters and Brick masons.
