College Ministry (RUF)What is RUF?Reformed University Fellowship
(RUF) is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America.
Although we are a part of the PCA, we welcome students from all
backgrounds and walks of life. Our goal is not to draw students into
our denomination but to draw them to Christ through the Scriptures, and
then direct them to a local church that has a high view of the Word of
God. Our PurposeRUF is committed
to reaching students for Christ and equipping them to serve on the
campus. These goals are met by teaching students the Scriptures of the
old and new testament, which reveal who God is and how we are to live
in His world. RUF is dedicated to studying the Scripture and living by
it. We do not do it perfectly, but we do it persistently by going back
to the Bible for instruction, encouragement, and hope. In our studies,
we do our best to steer away from things that merely "sound" or "seem"
Christian, and look to apply the truth of the Word of God to the whole
person (mind, will, and emotions). In doing this, we hope to address
four main areas of life: Growth in Grace; Fellowship and Service;
Evangelism and Missions; and Biblical World and Life View. ![]() The RUF minister and his wife are Ben and Marianna Shaw. Please visit http://www.usm.ruf.org for more information. |
