How did they build a church in the middle of a pandemic? You might ask that question standing before Clifton Church. This house of worship has seen its share of challenges. Founded in 1964 on land purchased from Mr. Howard Hogan, Clifton Church, originally Cliftondale Methodist Church, has a history as rich as the Georgia soil. In the turbulent year of 2020, when the world grappled with the Covid-19 pandemic, Clifton Church faced an unprecedented challenge. Under the leadership of Bishop Sue Haupert-Johnson, the physical doors of the church were closed. But the spirit of the congregation remained strong. Reverend Dr. Walter L. Kimbrough, the then Senior Pastor, spearheaded the transition to virtual worship. Through webinars and social media, the church found new ways to connect and support its community. This resilience is a testament to the enduring spirit of Clifton Church, a place where faith and community have overcome extraordinary times.
