Welcome to our church. We are the people of the United Methodist Church with "open hearts, open minds, and open doors," and we are striving to be a loving, caring, celebrating, learning, serving, and growing family of disciples of Jesus Christ.
We have been in Rutherford for 140 years. In fact, we were formed as a church community before this town was founded officially. Over more than a century and four-decade-long ministry and mission, we have not lost our corporate identity as a Christian Community centered on the Word of God and "under the same management over 2000 years."
Visit with us and experience a global church where each and every one represents our human diversity and yet united in the Spirit of God for the mission of transforming the world.

HAPPY 151st ANNIVERSARY RUMC
The first week of March, on the third day of the month, we mark the anniversary of RUMC's founding. This year is the 151st birthday of the congregation. The occasion will be celebrated on Communion Sunday, March 7 with a special presentation by church historian Bill Grindler about a well-known and beloved hymn "Face to Face (with Christ my savior), which was composed in 1898 in the RUMC parsonage. We will also sing the hymn together and re-affirm our commitment as the faith family of RUMC. Join us virtually on Zoom (see access info above) and enjoy this historic and joyful service.
GOSPEL OF MARK LENTEN PROJECT
What will your Lenten journey be this year? Pastor Lim invites us to join in a project of copying the Gospel of Mark.

If you wish to participate, contact Pastor Lim and he will assign you the sections of the scripture for you to copy. God bless you.
