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.

FOOD PANTRY DONATIONS THIS THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to remember The Rutherford Community Food Pantry and food pantries everywhere. As we thank God for the abundance we have received, please remember the less fortunate, especially those who are hungry. Covid-19 has increased the urgency of the need. Please help our hungry sisters and brothers by donating generously this Thanksgiving Sunday. When you go food shopping, if you are able, please buy an extra item to donate and drop it off at church. Click here to see what's needed most at the Rutherford Food Pantry. If you are not local, please consider donating to a food pantry near you. God bless you for providing others with a Happy Thanksgiving.
ADVENT STARTS SUNDAY NOV 29
Next Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent, the start of both a new liturgical year in the church and of the season of preparation for the coming of Christ at Christmas. Advent is a time of reflection on the miracle of Christ's coming into the world and living among the human family as one of us. As we light the candles of the Advent wreath on each of the four Sundays in Advent, we reflect on the hope, love, joy, and peace that are the Christmas gifts God gives us in Jesus. Let's also think about how we can give those gifts to others. Advent means "coming." We cry out: Come, Lord Jesus.
UNITED METHODIST STUDENT DAY NOV 29
Each year, the United Methodist Church recognizes the last Sunday of November as Student Sunday, one of the UMC's special giving days. On this day, churches are called to support students as they prepare for life in uniting faith with knowledge. Members are asked to make a special offering. This offering provides scholarships for qualified United Methodist applicants. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
