Missions

Reformed University Fellowship

The purpose of RUF is to build a community on the college campus which reaches students of divergent beliefs and doubts with the message of the gospel and equips them to love and serve Jesus and his church. As RUF shapes their lives around the gospel they have the opportunity to participate in God’s work of changing lives, healing our world, building community, and renewing our culture.
