Clinton Baptist Church (1857)

 

This church was organized in 1838 as Concord Baptist Church, located nearby in Trussells Creek. The first minister was Rev. William Manning. Charter members were: Mr. and Mrs. Moses Buttler, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Childs, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Keith, Mr. John Richardson, Miss Elizabeth Tutt, and Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Williams. After seven years the name was changed to Clinton Baptist Church to reflect the location in the community. The church membership grew considerably in the late 1840's and 1850's. This growth along with frequent flooding of Trussells Creek led the congregation to erect a new building. (From Historical Marker located at the Church)
