About
Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) is the campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), an evangelical denomination committed to the trustworthiness of the Scriptures and infinite worth of Jesus to bring about the restoration of all who trust in Him as well as the restoration of the entire world.
You may wonder why a Presbyterian ministry at Texas A&M. We want you to know our commitment is to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to serving the students at Texas A&M. Therefore, we welcome students from any and all walks of life. Students from a wide variety of church and religious backgrounds are involved here at Texas A&M. We are here for the "convinced" and the "skeptical." Present on over a hundred campuses in the United States, RUF brings to Texas A&M a heart for God and a love for the university campus. As a ministry of the PCA, we reflect the historic positions of the Church, including: the full authority, inspiration, and inerrancy of the Bible; the necessity of new life in Christ; and the task of the Church to proclaim the Gospel to all the nations and to equip believers for the work of ministry.
We are here to support students in their spiritual growth as well as their academic endeavors, not to propagate ourselves. We want to see students prepared for life beyond college, which includes their learning to live out their vocation as Christians. Practically, this means that we do not want students to sacrifice their studies (vocation) to make RUF happen. Instead we want them to learn what it looks like to serve God in their studies, in their relationships with their fellow students, and in their community.
