About Us

Allow us to introduce ourselves................ 

RUF is the denominational campus ministry for the Presbyterian Church in America www.pcanet.org . (If you try pca.org you will get the Porsche Club of America, not us!) The purpose of RUF is to 'reach students for Christ and equip them to serve.'

The next question, then, is how do we do that? How do we reach and equip? For starters, we do this by large group meetings, small groups and 1 on 1's. Everything we do flows out of these opportunities. Flowing out of what we learn from the Word there are opportunities to be involved in local mercy ministries (Community Table), Nursing Homes and being involved in "Big Brother/Big Sister" programs (mentoring program in the local school system).

However, as important as these opportunities with Community Table, the Nursing Home, or being a part of the Big Brother/Sister program are, the number one priority is for you to be a growing, faithful student for Christ. Furthermore, as your life is continually transformed by the life-giving Word of God serving will be a lifestyle rather than an event.

You might be wondering, where are the evangelistic events? activities? RUF is committed to the thinking that the follower of Christ and the non-follower of Christ need the exact same thing....the Truth, the Gospel, God Himself. Therefore, we don't have special meetings for non-believers. They are expected and welcome to all our meetings because we need the same Gospel as non-believers do. Activities? We study hard and we play hard. Check our calendar for stuff we do together or venture to the new Rec Center to shoot some hoops....play racquetball, or you might find us throwing the pig-skin/frisbee/baseball in any grassy area.
