Reformed University Fellowship is a Christian fellowship on over 130 college campuses across the country. Now RUF is at UCLA!
A Campus Ministry Connected to the Church
RUF is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. However, we welcome students from all walks of life and backgrounds, both the “convinced” and “unconvinced”, and we support the UCLA student's connection to any local Christ-centered, Gospel-centered church. RUF exists to reach and equip college students to love and serve Jesus Christ, His Church, and the world.
A Campus Ministry that Believes....
...the gospel speaks to the whole person, and that it can transform any place, bringing the healing and restoration of Christ’s Kingdom.
...that students should be Growing in Grace. Mere spiritual survival on campus (and beyond) should not be the goal of the Christian. Men and women who believe the good news should be growing—but how? Continued growth in the gospel is essential and comes as a result of experiencing the grace of Christ’s work for us through studying the Bible, developing a prayer life, understanding worship, and participating in the sacraments.
...in Fellowship and Service. According to the Bible, the Christian is a brother or sister to every other Christian, as well as a neighbor to every human being everywhere. These realities must find expression in an open and honest community of Christian students, and also in real, tangible acts of love and service to the people we encounter.
...in a Biblical World and Life View. Christianity is a way of seeing all of life. Mondays though Saturdays are just as much a part of the Christian life as Sundays. We want to see all of life through the lens of Scripture and to honor Christ in everything. We seek to better understand our education, our relationships, our talents, and our futures by learning how the whole of God’s truth relates to every area of life.
...in Evangelism and Mission. If we believe that we have the news that is good, we won’t horde it. We will share it with others, near and far. Our desire is to grow in our ability to thoughtfully and respectfully communicate the love and truth of Christ. This involves more than our words, but certainly not less.
