Clinton Methodist Church was the first Methodist church and the second church established in Jones County. Land was appropriated in 1810, and on July 14, 1821, a deed to the Clinton Methodists became effective. The church was a frame house of good dimensions with substantial stone steps of native granite. A gallery for slaves was removed in 1897. The chandelier and brass wall brackets originally held kerosene lamps. The church was among the first to organize a foreign missionary society. Among the early pastors were Dr. Lovick Pierce and Rev. James Payne in 1836.
