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.

Baby Bottle Boomerang is a project of the Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center. The goal is to raise funds for women who are pregnant but lack the support to have and care for a child and are at risk of choosing abortion. Please take one of the baby bottles available at church. Fill it with checks, cash, or coins and return to church by mid-July. Your generosity will help an expectant mother in need of support.Thank you!

Jesus asks us to love one another. Please show your love for our brothers and sisters who do not have enough to eat. Kindly bring at least one non-perishable food item to church on Sundays for distribution to the Rutherford Community Food Pantry and to CUMAC, a UMC outreach in Paterson.
