Friendship Club
The Friendship Club is an after-school mission program of First United Methodist Church in Rutherfordton, NC, The program currently serves 24 third grade students by providing a safe and supportive Christian environment in which the children can make friends, strengthen their social skills, enjoy enrichment activities, and learn more about Jesus and the love of God. We have a staff of two to operate our program on a daily basis with men, women and youth volunteers to assist our staff as needed. Friendship Club's operating hours are from 2:30 - 5:30 pm, Monday thru Thursday and we follow the Rutherford County public school calendar for closures and holidays.
Our enrichment activities include storytelling, drama, games, arts and crafts, music, cooking, gardening, woodworking and taking short field trips. The children also enjoy snacks and listening to Bible stories every day..
