Reformed University Fellowship in Providence, RI

Students from BROWN UNIVERSITY, the RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN, and other Providence area schools* have formed "RUF" - an evangelical Christian fellowship that is connected with the nationwide campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. Our members are students from a wide variety of ethnicities, church, and religious backgrounds who want to know Jesus Christ. RUF is here for the "convinced" Christian and the "unconvinced" who want to know more about Christianity.

RUF brings to the campus a Christ-centered ministry that wants to see students embraced and equipped by God's Grace so that...

  • Students are growing as worshippers and followers of Christ in his world…
  • Students are growing as Christ’s community of grace and truth within the world…
  • Students are growing as Christ’s ambassadors of grace and truth to the world…
  • Students are growing as Christ’s kingdom representatives transforming His world….


RUF Spring 2009
We long to be embraced and equipped by God’s grace, so that we may see ourselves and fellow students pursuing a revolution in beauty, in our lives and in God's world!

In a world lacking hope and purpose, we seek to increasingly know and make known the hope, power, and purpose that only the love of God in the gospel of Christ can bring.

In a world that is experiencing more and more strife and division, we seek to realize greater and greater love and unity as a community through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

RUF is here for ALL Brown, RISD, and other Providence area students - the "convinced" and the "unconvinced." We hope to see you in person soon at an RUF event!

(*RUF is an official religious student group and a UCS Category II group at Brown University and is unofficially connected with RISD Christian Fellowship.)
