The RUMC STory
Roswell United Methodist Church has been a place of community and faith for the residents of Roswell, GA, since our beginnings over 175 years ago, in a small log cabin in 1836. With over 7,000 members, we are one of the largest churches in the United Methodist North Georgia Conference. That said, we are a church built on close, personal relationships. All are welcome, and we'd love for you to join us.
