Our Mission:
We strive to provide a nurturing environment to prepare us to accept and carry out God’s personal mission for each of our lives.
God sent His Son into the world to bring forgiveness, healing, and help for suffering humanity. Through the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ, each follower of the Lord joins in mission with the Church, making God’s love known to all.

“God’s message is near you, on your lips and in your heart.” That is the message of faith that we preach. If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised Him from death, you will be saved. For it is by our faith that we are put right with God; it is by our confession that we are saved. So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ.
What we called a "Leap of Faith" two years ago, when committing to the building project, has seemed to progress with baby steps, but our members' commitment and support are reaching the goal:
The interior of the addition was 100% complete in August 2009. A concrete ramp provides easy access to the east door. We have used this multi-purpose room extensively (even during construction) for extra seating, serving buffet meals, and meetings.
Work has started on the exterior: The entire church addition will be re-sided with new white vinyl. As of late October, the north and west sides are finished.

Communion Services (quarterly): All people who intend to lead a Christian life are invited to receive this holy Sacrament. You do not have to be a member of Rib Falls Church, nor a member of any Methodist church in order to participate. We welcome all.
November 29, First Sunday of Advent, starting at 10:00 am, the worship service will emphasize the Advent theme. It includes raising and decorating the Christmas Tree and hymn singing, followed by a pot luck dinner. A nice way to begin the Advent season: you'll be filled with the Christmas Spirit as well as with good food.
December 24, Christmas Eve, at 7:00 pm the annual Christmas program begins. The theme is "Christmas Promises", a short play presented by the Sunday School. The Nativity pageant and plenty of hymns follow. We invite you to share in the warmth and fellowship of a traditional Christmas Eve service.
The public is welcome and invited to participate in all of these events. In the case of Communion, Methodists practice "open communion" which means all who intend to lead a Christian life may participate. In case of the pot luck picnic, our experience has been that this works a lot like the lesson of the Loaves and Fishes: there is always plenty of food to share, plus leftovers to take home.
