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.
Join us for worship on The Third Sunday After Epiphany, January 24 at 11:00 am with Pastor Lim on Zoom. (See access info below). The gospel reading is Mark 1: 14 - 20 (NRSV) and tells us of Jesus' invitation to his disciples to "go fishing," but for people, not trout. Please join us for prayer, song, and an inspiring message from Pastor Lim. If you have prayer requests, you may share at the service. See you Sunday!

On Wednesday, January 20, President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. His inauguration follows weeks of turmoil, division, and even violence in our country. Please pray for a safe and peaceful inauguration and for President Biden and his administration to successfully take office and begin to lead the US to a period of healing, renewal, peace, and progress. May God bless America.
Coronavirus, unemployment, and other challenges have caused higher than usual demand at food pantrys. Please help our hungry neighbors. When you go food shopping, if you are able, kindly buy at least one extra food item and drop it off at church. We bring all donations to the Rutherford Commmunity Food Pantry. Click here to see what's needed most this month. If you do not live nearby, remember your local food pantry. God bless you.
In these days of social distancing and virtual worship, please remember that the church still needs your support. Unfortunately, the new year brought a new problem with the boiler. Already new parts for the repair have cost $600, not including labor. This is in addition to the ongoing expenses of RUMC. Your generous support is needed and appreciated. Kindly send your offering by regular mail to Rutherford United Methodist Church - 56 West Passaic Ave - Rutherford NJ 07070 Attn. June. Thank you!
