Located in beautiful Cherokee County, St. Clement's is an active congregation of approximately 125 households, drawn from Canton, Woodstock, Acworth and a number of surrounding areas. The first Episcopal Church in Cherokee County in modern times, St. Clement's was founded as an Episcopal Mission in Canton in 1974 by a group of twenty dedicated individuals. In the early years, the congregation worshiped at the Old Brown Farm by the banks of the Etowah River. During Easter and other special services, the Church overflowed, and many worshipers sat in chairs on the lawn. Later, services were held in the old Georgia Power building on Main Street in Canton over what is now the Main Street Café. Six members of the congregation purchased the original church building in 1977. In 1998 the parish began a total renovation of this structure. For several months during the construction and renovation, the congregation worshiped at the historic Rock Barn located near the high school on Hwy. 5 in Canton. The first service in our new building was held that Christmas Eve. On January 16, 1999, the Rt. Rev. Frank K. Allan, Eighth Bishop of Atlanta, dedicated and consecrated the new building, the stained glass window, which had been built and installed by a small group of parishioners, and the church bell which was given by a parishioner as a memorial gift. Davis Hall, which houses Sunday school and other parish activities, was acquired in 1986. In the past few years, the congregation updated Sunday school space and equipment and provided a new playground for our children. Davis Hall has recently undergone a renovation and expansion to provide more space for study and hospitality. As a loving and caring community of Christ, St. Clement's welcomes all persons to worship with us and to become part of our growing family of faith! Our parish offers ample opportunity for spiritual growth and service and for nurturing the growth of others by exercising the gifts of ministry that God has abundantly given us!
