John MacArthur Receives Letter Threatening Fines and Arrest

August 3, 2020 by Staff

According to Franklin Graham, John MacArthur and Grace Community Church received a letter from the LA county officials threatening fines and possible arrest if they continue to assembly for in-person worship.

After Pastor @JohnMacArthur announced that his congregation at @GraceComChurch in Sun Valley, CA, would be assembling in obedience to God’s Word, he received a letter from LA county officials threatening repercussions such as fines & possible arrest. https://t.co/IKX2FSmdyc

This came shortly after MacArthur posted a short video update on Friday where he restated that Grace Community Church would not close their doors because the California government has mandated them to do so. Governor Newsom has ordered businesses, gyms, and churches to (re)close, due to the spread of the coronavirus.

MacArthur has said that they have received support legal experts in Washington D.C., who want to help them defend their decision to remain open, if needed.
