Clinton Presbyterian Church

91 Center Street

Our church's primary mission is to "go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything Christ commanded us".

History

Our congregation began as a Sabbath School in the schoolhouse at Hunt's Mills in 1825. The village became Clinton in 1828.

In the Spring of 1829, Princeton Seminary sent a student to preach a series of sermons. Later that year the Presbytery agreed to send a regular pulpit supply preacher. Land was donated and a square, unadorned stone building was completed by the end of 1830. The church was formally organized in June 1831 with ten communicants and three ruling elders.

During the period of 1864-1868, the Church building was remodeled with a steeple and balcony. After the blizzard of 1888 blew down the steeple, church members decided to enlarge the sanctuary to its present size and add the organ. The Pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows were added in 1906.
