First Baptist Church of Clearview

The First Baptist Church was established in Clearview in 1904 and closed around 2005 with the last members being Idella Ballard, Lucille Williams, and Paul Abrams. The original building was a one-story building facing the south with an enclosed porch with two entrances, one on the east and one on the west sides. Also, the church had a cook kitchen which still stands and a church bell. When they constructed the second building, the original pulpit was used and along with the speaker podium. The podium is now in use at another church as well as other items. The church bell was stolen. The corner stone will be donated to a museum as a part of Okfuskee County and Clearview history. The building was torn down, burned, and buried in the crater. A part of Clearview history gone but preserved in our memories.
