A Church Begins:

On July 23, 1853 the first thirteen members (eight of them women), under the direction of the Presbytery of Peoria, organized the Clinton Presbyterian Church. In August of that year, the Rev. J.H. Moore, who also served the Randolph Grove Church, began his Clinton duties. For seven years Sunday services were held in the old school, the Court House, and what was then known as Warner and Lintner's Hall on the east side of the public square. Prayer and committee meetings were held in the school, and later in a rear room of the C.H. Moore law office.

Mission Statement:

"Our mission at Clinton Presbyterian Church is to cultivate a loving relationship with God for all in Christ guided by the Holy Spirit through worship, education, spritual growth, evangelism and mission."
