Roswell United Methodist Church

What Roswell United Methodist Church does

Roswell United Methodist Church (RUMC) is a United Methodist congregation founded in 1836 and headquartered at 814 Mimosa Boulevard in Roswell, Georgia. The church operates as a non-profit religious organization delivering a multi-generational ministry portfolio spanning three simultaneous Sunday worship formats (Contemporary at 9 AM, Traditional at 11:15 AM, and Chapel Roswell at 11:15 AM), live and on-demand streaming, and a sermon library with 118+ archived pages. Beyond worship, RUMC runs four core fee-based or donation-funded verticals: RUMCK Preschool & Kindergarten (founded 1971, Cognia accredited, United Methodist Preschool Association "Preschool of Excellence," tuition $240-$450/month across age tiers), Parents' Morning Out (3-18 months, $240-$260/month), Wednesday Night Supper and frozen-meal services (per-unit family pricing), and a Counseling Center staffed by independent fee-based practitioners.

The church's community-facing ecosystem is a key strategic asset. The Job Networking ministry (founded 1988) draws 140+ attendees per bi-monthly meeting with 155+ active volunteers and a 5,300+ member LinkedIn group; it received a Georgia Senate resolution on April 2, 2025 and the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce's 2025 Small Non-Profit of the Year award. RUMC also operates 30+ weekly support groups (12-step programs, GriefShare, dementia caregivers), Stephen Ministry one-on-one care, the MUST Neighborhood Pantry (serving 300+ families monthly), and an extensive local and global mission portfolio including Honduras, Spain, Peru, Ecuador, Kenya, Burma, Egypt, and Wycliffe Bible Translators partnerships. Worship Arts encompasses music (Sanctuary Choir, handbells, children's choirs), Acting UP drama, and the Charis Gallery (founded 2010).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring member donations, tithes, and an annual Estimate of Giving campaign (with online, text-to-give, stock donation, and estate planning options), supplemented by tuition, program fees, and modest meal-program receipts. The church employs 66 staff led by Senior Pastor Tom Davis and Associate Pastor of Operations & Outreach Rev. Marion Brown, with dedicated directors for Children's Ministry, Preschool, Worship Arts, Hospitality, Care, and Parents' Morning Out. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or external funding rounds are disclosed; operations rely on standard church management and streaming platforms. RUMC has no parent company and is governed through the typical United Methodist clergy and lay-leadership structure.
