First Presbyterian Church of Clifton is a historic Presbyterian church located in an antebellum building on Main Street in Clifton, Tennessee.
The church was built in 1856. [1] During the Civil War, it was used by military forces on both sides. The Confederate Army used the building as a hospital and the Union Army later (from about January to August 1864) used it as a livery stable and blacksmith shop. [2] [3] The main entrance door was enlarged to accommodate horses, and the brickwork around the doorway gives evidence of the repairs that were later made to restore the building. The congregation filed a damage claim with the United States federal government, [2] [3] and finally received compensation of $780 in 1915. The church's steeple was erected with the money received. [2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. [1]
When founded, the congregation was affiliated with the Cumberland Presbyterians. Later it became part of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). In 2014, the small congregation decided to leave that denomination and affiliate with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. [4] The Presbytery of Middle Tennessee agreed to dismiss the congregation and to allow the congregation to retain its name and property. [5]
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Christian denomination spawned by the Second Great Awakening.

Kentucky Synod was a synod of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America established in the late 18th century. As a body, Kentucky Synod was a great deal more conservative than the Presbyterian Church as a whole — especially in its opposition to many aspects of the Second Great Awakening, a revival movement that thrived in Kentucky from about 1798 to about 1820. Synod suspended or deposed a number of revivalist Presbyterian ministers, but these men continued to preach to their former congregations. Eventually, Barton W. Stone, who abandoned Washington Presbytery in 1803, formed Springfield Presbytery, which eventually became the Christian Church. In 1810, ministers from the former Cumberland Presbytery, which had been dissolved by Synod five years earlier, left the church and created an independent presbytery which became the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
