McArthur United Methodist Church

WHAT WE BELIEVE
In the Triune God: God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
In the divine inspiration: of the Old and New Testament Scriptures and that they
contain all truths necessary to faith and Christian living.
*In regeneration:* that work of divine grace, whereby the penitent , believing soul is
made spiritually alive.
*In Sanctification:* that work of divine grace, subsequent to Regeneration, whereby
the believer is purified in heart.
*In the sacraments:* Baptism (By any mode; sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.), and
Holy Communion.
*As the result of Christ's meritorious death on the cross*, Salvation is freely offered to
all who will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, a day of final judgment
and the eternal destiny of the soul.

Our church history began when it was organized in 1814 by Reverend Joel Havens.
