Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Get to the Church?
RRUMC is located at 1652 Abrazo Rd. SE in Rio Rancho, NM 87124 on Abrazo Road, just west of Unser Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and Northern Boulevard. Enter through the glass doors at the center. The sanctuary is straight ahead. The nursery and children’s classrooms are down the corridor to your right. The fellowship hall and adult class rooms are down the corridor to your left. See ‘Contact Us’ link for map.

How Should I Dress?
While some folks like to wear their "Sunday Best" to worship on Sunday mornings, many wear comfortable and casual clothes. Everyone wears comfortable and casual clothes to our Wednesday night activities.

When Should I Get There?
Our Sunday morning worship service is at 10:00 am.  It is best to arrive about 5 to 10 minutes ahead of time to allow for parking.  Sunday morning Bible Study classes begin at 8:45 am & 9 am. To get to know our church family better, please join us for fellowship and refreshments after the weekly church service.

What About my Children?
At Rio Rancho UMC, we are dedicated in our role to provide an environment for spiritual growth of all who attend our Preschool Program, Nursery, Children's Sunday School, and Youth Ministry classes and activities. Children aged 5 and under are welcome in our adult attended nursery during the worship service. Although children are welcome in the worship service, we offer a Children’s Sunday school class for K-5th grade, held during the 10 am worship service. Our Youth Group meets from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. most Sunday evenings for a snack supper, games, fellowship, and Bible studies. The times and activities of the Youth Group occasionally vary. Everyone who works in our preschool, nursery, Children's Sunday School, and youth ministries has received United Methodist Safe Sanctuaries training and passed background checks.
Starting in March 2025, will be having a potluck brunch on every 5th Sunday of the month.
For 2025, this will be March 30, June 29, August 31, and November 30.
