The History of Clinton Presbyterian Church

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.
