ABOUT US

WELCOME TO CLIFFORD!

Our worship service is more traditional accompanied by organ and piano. Children (ages 4 – 5th grade) are dismissed during our congregational greeting time to go to Shining Lights or King Jesus Kids. We have a traditional adult choir singing weekly or some other form of special music is provided. The worship service includes songs of worship and a message from our Senior Pastor, Jeffrey W. Campbell.

What We Believe

As you learn more about the personality of Clifford Baptist Church, we are a church that stands on some firm doctrinal scriptural foundations. These next few paragraphs will give you a thumbnail sketch of the beliefs that hold us together as a church and give us the commission to reach out with the love and good news of Jesus Christ.

There are three basic doctrines that form the core of Clifford Church:

Rev. Jeffrey Campbell has been a part of the Amherst Community all his life. He became a machinist by trade for a local company, has served as Lay Supply Pastor at Wesleyan United Methodist Church for 2.5 years and Poplar United Methodist for 1.5 years before becoming Clifford’s first Youth Pastor in 2008. He is married to Terri and they have two teenage sons, Levi and Ethan. On June 6, 2022 he became Senior Pastor of Clifford Baptist Church.

Nathan grew up in central Virginia. He graduated from Liberty University with a B.S. in Business Administration in 2019. During college, he served at CrossRoads Camp & Conference Center as the camp’s Ministry Coordinator and Program Manager. He is currently in seminary, pursuing a Master of Divinity. Nathan’s greatest joys are the saving work of Christ, sharing this Good News, and discipling believers. He is married to Grace Williams (formerly Martin) and they have a son named Shepherd.
