Prior to 1830 the only church in the community was Wheelers Primitive Baptist Church.
Some tracts or pamphlets concerning the missionary beliefs had been distributed among its members.
Some members were converted to this new idea, thus causing a division in the church.
Elder Stephen Pleasant, a very influential member of the church, led in organizing a missionary Baptist church.
Through this faithful group of followers and the influence of Rev. Pleasant, on March 20, 1830 a deed of three acres of land was donated by Mr. Nat Norfleet for the purpose of organizing Clement Church.
Soon a house of worship was built where the cemetery is located.
Rev. Pleasant served as its first pastor and served until his death in 1852.
Clement grew and prospered under his guidance.
Rev. Pleasant was also the founder of the Beulah Baptist Association of which Clement was a member and remains faithful today.
