Our Goals
GROWTH IN GRACE
RUF aims to help students understand and use the means of grace which God has provided for Christian growth. This includes studying the Bible, developing a prayer life, understanding worship, and depending on the Holy Spirit in order for us to die to sin and grow in righteousness.
EVANGELISM AND MISSIONS
RUF proclaims the good news of Jesus Christ to the university community with the hope of reaching the world. We take seriously Christ's command to go and make disciples of all nations. So we are witnessing to the truth about God and man in the world of academic, relativistic thought, and praying for conversions and revival.
FELLOWSHIP AND SERVICE
Because Christians are united to Christ, they are also united to other believers. As Christians learn to participate by using their gifts and strengths, the body of Christ, His church, is built up. It also means reaching out as a loving, believing community to the university community in word and deed (mercy ministry).
BIBLICAL WORLD AND LIFE VIEW
Christianity is a way of seeing all of life. We believe that God is at work in the world. His revealed truth is the integrating principle for all knowledge. The Bible provides the Christian with identity and purpose in a broken world.
