Reformed University Fellowship
- Reformed University Fellowship
Reformed University Fellowship, or RUF, is the campus ministry organization of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). RUF has experienced rapid growth the past few years, and currently has 110 chapters at different college campuses spread over 27 US States, Mexico, and Canada. Most of its schools are in the southern United States, but it has ministries from California to Massachusetts. The PCA follows traditional Westminster standards, including belief in the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible.
RUF is not constructed to be a substitute for formal church, thus it is open for anyone to join and become a member, and is not exclusive to those within a certain denomination or indeed within the Christian religion. However, the organization itself is closely associated with the Reformed theological viewpoint, as their name implies. Its meetings range in size from campus to campus. There are also different types of meetings, often referred to as 'large groups' or 'small groups'.
RUF hosts two main conferences a year, held in Laguna Beach, Florida in the summer and Breckenridge, Colorado in the winter. There are also regional conferences that take place throughout the year. The conferences, like the organization meetings, are not limited to those ascribing to Reformed theology.
The Reformed Youth Movement, while a ministry similar to RUF, is not officially a part of the PCA.
