Three different branches of Mennonites are represented in the community. The Old Order Amish Mennonites had 800 members in nine congregations or districts in the 1950s. The Arthur Mennonite Church (MC) under the Illinois Mennonite Conference has 241 members and worshiped in a building on the east side of Arthur. The Conservative Amish Mennonite congregation with 45 members met in its church building three miles south of Arthur, where it also conducted a Christian day school.
