Our Story

​Clemmons First Baptist Church traces its roots back to 1863 when a group of Baptists met under the name  Muddy Creek Meeting House. After relocating to Clemmons in 1874, Muddy Creek became  Clemmons Baptist Church. The foundation of our present site was laid in 1905. Several building additions and renovations have taken place in the intervening years, but the rich history remains the same. Over the many decades of our beloved community, we have established a new Family Life Center, a three-story educational facility, and a renovated sanctuary. “Resilience in the face of difficulty” is the way many members have described the church. After our beloved pastor, Rev. Scott Hammett, passed into eternal life in 2018, the congregation was filled with renewed passion for our growing community in Clemmons, North Carolina.

​During Rev. Hammett's tenure, we adopted a simple slogan that sums up the spirit of Clemmons First Baptist Church: “Welcome to the Journey”.
