THE HISTORY OF ANTIOCH-CLEM
OUR CHURCH HISTORY
Antioch Missionary Baptist Church has had a proud history that has added much to the lives of the Christians of Carroll County and especially the Clem Community.
In the late 1800’s a small band of Christian believers begin to congregate on land owned by Mr. D. W. Crews. They set about to establish a church that has continued in the same location for over 131 years. In 1904, Mr. Crews deeded the land to the Church body with the expectation that it would always be used for Christian purposes.
As we celebrate our 135th Anniversary this year, we reflect on a dedicated, small group of parishioners who overcame great barriers and built our beloved Church as it exists today with much sacrifice. Now we, as the present generation, must show the same devotion and commitment to meet the community's growing needs.
