About Us
An outward facing community centered on Jesus and his Gospel
Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. Though we are Presbyterian in affiliation, we welcome students from all walks of life, both the “convinced” and the “unconvinced.” Regardless of your beliefs or doubts, RUF is a safe place for you to explore Christianity and grow in your understanding of who Jesus is and what it means to follow him in community with others at Purdue.
We exist to cultivate and nurture a community on Purdue’s campus that reaches students of divergent beliefs and doubts with the message of the Gospel and equips them to love and serve Jesus, his Church and the world. As we shape our lives around the Gospel we have the opportunity to participate in God's work of changing lives, building community, healing our world, and renewing our culture.
