Cleric's two main stats are WIS and CHA. WIS is used for spellcasting, and is most commonly the 'primary' stat for clerics, while CHA is used for channeling energy and is most commonly the 'secondary' stat.
How you will want to allocate your stats will depend on what kind of cleric you want to be. A couple suggestions:
'Vanilla' Party Support Cleric:
11 Str
13 Dex
16 Con
13 Int
18 Wis
18 Cha
Melee Crusader-Style Cleric:
18 Str
13 Dex
16 Con
11 Int
18 Wis
13 Cha
Undead-Bane Cleric:
18 Str
13 Dex
13 Con
11 Int
16 Wis
18 Cha
Sean H has a pretty good breakdown though I would argue you can jsut as easily dump an 11 in that charisma. All a 13 would give you channeling waise is one more channel. It does nothing to affect the overall quality of channeling other than jsut give ya another.
So yeah don't be afraid to throw that 13 in int if you'd rather have more skill points. :)

Personally? I'd mix and match the suggestions a little:
Str 18
Dex 13
Con 13
Int 11
Wis 18
Cha 16
That ought to give you some solid melee as well as spellcasting, and good Channeling when you need or want it.
Then put your racial bonus into Str or Wis depending on which of melee or spellcasting you wish to focus on.

This is the right answer.
