Welcome
Welcome to our website, which should tell you that we are the people of the United Methodist Church with "open hearts, open minds, and open doors," and that we are striving to be a loving, caring, celebrating, learning, serving, and growing family of disciples of Jesus Christ.
We are here in Rutherford for about 138 years. In fact, we were formed as a church community before this town was founded officially. Over more than a century and three decade long ministry and mission we have not lost our corporate identity as a Christian Community, who is centered on the Word of God and "under the same management over 2000 years."
Visit with us, and you may find us a microcosmic global church where each and every one in presence represents differences in many and various ways and yet united in the Spirit of God for the mission of transforming the world.

- FOOD PANTRY ADVENT PROJECT
Many thanks to all who donated to our Thanksgiving Food Pantry project. Unfortunately, there is so much need this year, that we will continue the effort with our Advent Food Project. Advent begins on Sunday, December 2, and it is a time of spiritual preparation for Christmas. Thinking of those in need is a meaningful way to prepare. When you go to the supermarket, kindly pick up an extra item to bring to church on Sunday for distribution to the Rutherford Community Food Pantry and to CUMAC, a UMC outreach in Paterson.Check here to see what's needed most at the Rutherford Food Pantry. Thanks and God bless you!!
