RSUMC was founded in 1828 by Rev. Peyton Bibb, brother of the 1st 2 governors of Alabama. The current sanctuary was built in 1845 and the building contains much of the original furnishings, as well as the intact slave gallery. The church has had its ups and downs, but has experienced a huge resurgence lately and is now a vital, growing faith community with 120-130 in weekly worship attendance. Our current pastor is the Rev. Lance Eiland who has been with us since 2013.
