Welcome to Rupert
United Methodist Church!
Let me tell you about Rupert Methodist. Nestled in the heart of
Southern Vermont, Rupert United Methodist Church offers a sanctuary from life’s
struggles. Here, we worship, study, fellowship, care for each other and seek to
find our way as disciples of a living Christ.
Every church, from the largest metropolitan megachurch, the a
small rural faith community like Rupert United Methodist, has the same mission
and the same challenge: How, in an increasingly secular world, do we spread
God’s love and bring people into a closer relationship with God?
We believe the secret is not a secret at all. We do it by
striving to live Jesus own summary of the entire scripture as described in
Matthew 22:40 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul
and all your mind.” and “Love your neighbor as yourself. We strive to do this as
a church family that is always open, loving and kind. Our motto is “Love. No
exceptions.”
We invite you to join us. As a result of Covid, we have developed
a unique service that can be attended in our sanctuary in a safe environment
where every church member has been vaccinated, or on-line. Come as you are. We
are not a perfect people, so you don’t have to be perfect either. Come as you
are. We don’t care what color, sexual orientation, job you do or don’t have,
where you are from, or where you are have been, whether you have been part of
church forever, or a newbie, or seeker or a person hurting because of another
church experience in your past. Bring your burdens, hopes, struggles and
energy. Share your faith journey, and let us be part of yours. Let us love –
together.
- Tom Atkins, Pastor
