Local Missions
Make a difference in Your Community
Whether it's greeting worshippers on Sundays, leading a small group, or participating in a local service project, there is a place for anyone and everyone to use their gifts to put God’s love into action for the benefit of our community.

My Neighbor’s Pantry is a community program that provides fresh, healthy foods to children and families in Roswell and surrounding areas who find themselves facing food insecurity.
Each week, we serve over 300 families with this ministry, providing chicken, beef, cheese, milk, butter, tortillas, fresh produce and more. We also provide items that cannot be purchased with food stamps, as well as staples that are hard to find in most community food banks.
Learn more about My Neighbor's Pantry on the RUMC Podcast.
