Macedonia CPCA is a member of the Tennessee Valley Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America. The church was organized following the exodus of several young men from St. James CPCA Church in an effort to start a new CP Church in Decatur, Alabama. These young men, from Madison, Limestone and other surrounding areas, arrived as church officers. Those young officers included J.N. Martin, W.W. Baugh, Tom Burns and other Burns men from Lauderdale County.

The families first began meeting on Sunday and Wednesday nights in each other’s homes. In 1912, during a meeting held at the home of Will Baugh’s (on the corner of 9th Avenue and 6th Street), the group established a “Mission Point, “ – Macedonia C.P. Church, named by Sallie Baugh. The first church building was known as the Green Chapel Hall, located at the end of Cherry Street and the Southern Railroad between Walnut Street and Cherry Street.  This remained the church site until around 1918 when World War I started.

 

After the church burned down (between 1918 and 1924) the church was relocated to Walnut Street N.W. across from the Robinsons and next door to the Whiteheads.  In December 1988, the Macedonia Church Family purchased the current worship site on Old Moulton Road.  In early January 1989, the congregation moved to its new home and held its first official service.
