Hello. I'm Bill Ferguson, everybody calls me Brother Bill, and I am the Pastor of Sherrill United Methodist Church. We are very happy that you found our web site and we hope you will visit us often. We invite you to join us for fellowship and worship. We are an informal, small country church. There is no need to dress up. We are located just 15 miles from Pine Bluff and 11 miles from England, Arkansas on highway 15 north.
Our worship time is 9:30 A.M. each Sunday morning and Sunday School is after worship at 10:30 A.M.
Our Mission Statement is Making Disciples for Christ, changing the world one life at a time, teaching that the two-thougsand-year-old Gospel of Jesus is relevant in this generation, showing how the Old Testament teachings are just as relevant and important as the New Testament and sharing with others the good news that Jesus of Nazareth is the one and only Messiah.
Here’s a Brief History of our church:
Established in 1847, Sherrill United Methodist Church is one of the oldest and continuously active churches in Jefferson County. Originally it was called Sherrill Methodist Episcopal Church South. In 2002 it was among four Arkansas properties to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the country’s official registry of historically significant properties, according to Arkansas Historic Preservation Program director Ken Grunewald.
Sherrill United Methodist Church, at 118 West Main Street (on Highway 15 North15 miles from Pine Bluff) in Sherrill, is a single story, wood-frame structure built1909 -1910 in a design reflecting the Craftsman and Gothic Revival styles of architecture.
"By 1909, the congregation had outgrown the home it had occupied since 1895," the National Register nomination committee says. "Under the leadership of the late Reverend Frank Rogers, ground was broken on the same site and construction of the present structure begun.
"By 1926 the membership had once more outgrown its accommodations. The parsonage was dismantled and the salvaged materials were used to build an addition at the rear of the building. This addition contained the fellowship hall and Sunday School rooms." - (article written and contributed by Reverend Bill Ferguson, Pastor Sherrill United Methodist it appeared in the Pine Bluff Commercial June 2, 2002).
