RUF as a Christian student organization has two main objectives:

1.  To reach students for Christ;

2. To equip students for service in God's Kingdom.

We hope to help students wrestle with the realities of life through the framework presented in Scripture, to love and care for them as they prepare for their future vocations, to encourage them as they discover their place in God's broader redemptive program, to provide opportunities for service, ministry, and outreach... and to have a lot of fun in the process.

I know it seems like a funny name, but the letters "RUF" really communicate what we're about.

"Reformed" refers to a biblical and historical understanding of Christianity as expressed in the Protestant Reformation.  We work from the conviction that the Bible is true, accessible, and God's revelation of Himself. Within RUF you have the freedom to wrestle with God's Word and witness God's work.

RUF aims to be a ministry for the campus, not simply a ministry on the campus.  Our intention is to encourage your faith and calling as you understand the glory of God in Jesus Christ.  We want you to engage in campus life and serve the university community in your studies, friendships, work, and worship.

We believe that God created us for relationships, and yet, because of sin, we experience alienation from God and one another.  We also believe that the Gospel is properly understood within a community of people who, although broken, long to trust and depend on each other.  RUF cultivates community through our campus fellowship, which extends off campus and into the local church.
