Who We Are
Though dead, yet they speak..R is for Reformed
Being “reformed” simply means that we hold to an historic and
Protestant understanding of Christianity. Though many today would
claim that truth is relative or unknowable, we believe that
Christianity stands upon very clear and specific truth claims. Jesus
Himself said that we must believe who He claimed to be and hold to His
teachings. Our ministry works to give students opportunities to
wrestle with the truth of God’s Word in the Bible and see that the
gospel speaks to every area of life. Christianity is not intended
simply to make us “better” people; the Gospel makes us new people. We
hope that many will come to know the One who is truth -- Jesus Christ
-- and find new life in Him.
Beautiful Georgia Southern University!U is for University
Jesus said, “I am making all things new!” RUF was born out of a desire
to see the church minister to the world without abandoning the campus
or becoming lost in it. The university is a unique element of our
society, and we must not neglect it. It is the dream of RUF to be a
ministry “for our campus,” not for ourselves. We believe that the
gospel can change any person and any place in Christ. We long to see the entirety of
Georgia Southern transformed by the power and
beauty of the presence of Christ.
Jess, Marsha, Suzanne and Mary Hope at RUF Fall Conference '07F is for Fellowship
The Christian faith is not something that can be lived out alone, for
Christians are called to live within a very special community -- the
Church. We taste the life of heaven together. We face our struggles
together. This deep fellowship is rooted in the new life given to us by
Christ. RUF is committed to building up and inviting people into this
unique and loving community. Because
Christ loved the Church, and gave himself up for her, we are then
delighted to gather under her care. That is where God is at work,
gathering His people, and strengthening them for work in His kingdom.
