      to RUF

      at Millersville University

      "Reaching Students for Christ and Equipping them to Serve"

    • What is RUF?

      RUF is a campus ministry at Millersville University. Our goal is to be a group where people are welcome to find out what the Bible says about who Jesus is. People do some of their best learning in the context of relationships and through conversation. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian who has been going to church all your life or a skeptic who just isn't sure what to believe. We invite and welcome you to come ask questions and make new friends.

      What does RUF do?

      • Our main functions can be broken up into 4 categories
      • Large Group - We have a weekly Large Group that meets on Thursday nights from 8:30-10pm. We use this time for worship (singing and prayer) as well as teaching.
      • Small Group Bible Studies - Small groups are weekly meetings where students explore faith together. Using the Bible as our jumping off point, students are encouraged to asks questions about what the bible says, faith and life. Most of these groups are student led.

      What does RUF believe?

      In all that we do on campus, RUF seeks to be honest. We don’t assume a “generic Christianity,” but sincerely embrace the system of doctrine set down in a historical document called The Westminster Confession of Faith. This also means that we are open about our affiliation. RUF is the official campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America.
