Clinton United Church of Christ - Clinton, Michigan, USA. - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The United Church of Christ in Clinton traces its roots to 1843 when a few members withdrew from the Presbyterian Church, drew up a covenant and were chartered as the First Congregational Church of Clinton. The first meeting place was the district school house on Clinton Street where the water tower now stands. A new church building was completed in 1844 and continues to serve as the gathering place for the congregation. The Civil War saw the congregation divided as "pros and cons sat grim faced on opposite sides of the sanctuary." Some members worked with Sojourner Truth and the Underground Railroad to provide safe passage for slaves. During the 1920's the congregation helped bring the cultural and educational programs of the Chautauqua Movement to Clinton. The Kircher Memorial building addition was completed during this period and was put to use for religious drama and an expanding Sunday School." Text Source: (visit link)
